1335 is one the few GSR-built passenger carriages left, and one of only two to retain running gear.

It was designed by E.C. Bredin for the Dublin to Cork expresses, and was one of four carriages purchased from CIÉ (along with 1327, 1328 and 1333) and transferred to Whitehead on 10th June 1973.

In 1935 Inchicore produced 12 steel panel carriages to this design, of which 8 were side corridor thirds of 9ft width.

In 1937 a further 8 carriages were built of which 4 were side corridor thirds, this time of width 9ft 6in.

Meanwhile in 1936 Inchicore built 12 Bredin suburban all open design carriages comprising brake thirds, thirds and composites of which the now disposed of 1333 was one.
