My favourite singer had this figured out in the 90s. Not wanting to be around any more people than she had to, Irish singer Enya just went out and bought a castle, and then retrofitted it with modern amenities, like a recording studio, and probably stuff like cable TV/Internet connections and stuff. Not to mention accommodations for her 150 cats or however many she has. She probably even has lodging for the Ryans, the husband-and-wife duo who have been producing and writing for her, respectively, since the 1980s (except husband Nicky passed away last year). I dunno, she doesn't give tours. But she owns a fucking castle and that's awesome.

...not sure what any of this has to do with trains though. Except that both trains and castles are cool?

Its not a real castle to be clear, its a victorian mansion with castle aesthetics. Victorians loved castellating things, I used to live in a random flat that had arrow loopholes.
