An aluminium bodied coach mounted on pattern 88 bogies, and heating. Built by Carnforth Railway Restoration & Engineering Services, with running gear, electrical services, finishing and painting by FR Co. at Boston Lodge. Financed under the INCA programme.
Originally shopped in the Push Pull livery of lined Green and Cream, in the early 2000s it was painted in unlined Red and Cream.
In 2003, 113 was sent to Welsh Highland Railway (Caernarfon) with Carriage 100 to form part of the F-set. The following winter major interior work, one compartment was converted to a buffet store and the interior panelling and floor covering were replaced.
Cabled and plumbed for Push Pull operation.
As of early November 2008 this carriage is back on FR metals, as it is surplus to requirements at Dinas thanks to the delivery of Carriage 2010 and the fact that Carriage 2100 is nearing completion. 113 was last spotted in Minffordd Yard with Carriage 2090.
