It is definitely 4.5 volt and battery-driven.

In Germany (maybe in other countries also) this train set came without own
building instruction. The instruction for the waggons was printed on the
backside of the box!
But there have been the 153 and 112 plans inside the 113 box instead to
demmonstrate the use of couplings and the way the engine was built.

You do not need wires. The 112, the 113 and the 121 (only joking!!) have used
the bottom contacts of the set 101 baterie box to give connection to the set
100 motor.

(notice: there have vever been white groundplates in 100, 101, 111, 112 and
113.)
You can use the 103 set box also, but the 107 / 810 battery boxes will not work
due to missing bottom contacts. The 101 box in blue is not so rare. If you
needed a black one, that would cost you at least 50...80 $.

You will get quite often blue 4,5 V blue track fot less than 3..5 $US per meter
in German eBay. (straight track is always much more requested than curves.
Track without sleppers is nearly worthless).

Has your 113 the printed bricks with 4 times "post" and each 2 times Basel
Genova Hamburg? Those are very rare in fact!
