}}GWR Tool/Riding Van No 118 was built at Swindon in 1904. It is the SVR's only example of a short-wheelbase riding van. It had sleeping space for 4 people and could seat up to 20.<ref name=SB9>SVR Stock Book Ninth Edition</ref>
It arrived on the SVR in on 4 May 1968 from Stourbridge where it had been paired with [[GWR 112 Breakdown Tool Van]] which arrived at the same time.<ref name=SB9/>
In November 2013 the [[Severn 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.
