Carriage 2048 is a WHR third class saloon carriage. The carriage is of the "third" design of modern Welsh Highland Railway carriage (i.e. with panoramic windows aligned with each seating bay, no drop windows, and opening toplights as with carriages 2046 and 2047).

It was constructed at Boston Lodge and funded by the WHR Society as their appeal for 2019-2020. By March 2020, most of the components to build the bogies had been acquired, however the wheel-sets were yet to be delivered. Construction was halted in late March 2020, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Work on the carriage resumed when the works was reopened and it was complete by the end of 2020.
