GWRGreat Western Railway Tool/Riding Van No 118 was built at Swindon in 1904.

It arrived on the SVRSevern Valley Railway in May 1968. In November 2013 the SVRSevern Valley Railway Association announced a plan to convert this riding van into a type of flexible family-friendly volunteer overnight accommodation, and organised a raffle to raise funds for this.
