Type 113A restoration wagons were built in 1974-76

A total of 230 were built. Type 113A bar wagons were built as so-called "half bars" because they had 3 2nd class compartments and one compartment for service. At the beginning of the 1990s, these cars were converted to so-called full bars: the 2nd class compartments were eliminated, leaving a compartment for the attendant and one compartment as storage, while increasing the bar space by 2 compartments. It is worth mentioning that restaurant cars were also built, which differed from bar cars in that meals were brought to tables, rather than ordered at the bar as with traditional bar cars. The restaurant wagons did not have the tall distinctive tables and hockers, just ordinary tables and chairs. Type 113A wagons were suitable for travel outside our country and could often be found on international trains passing through our country or leaving Poland.
