The SVR’s 3 Flat ED wagons were bought from BR by Universal Pictures for use in the making of the film [[The Seven-Per-Cent Solution]], and arrived on the SVR from Kettering in July 1975. Two of the wagons were fitted with temporary wooden bodies to serve as mock carriages, while the third was used for film camera work. On completion of filming they became surplus to requirements and were acquired by [[Severn Valley Railway (Holdings) PLC | SVR(H)]].<ref name=SB7>SVR Stock Book Seventh Edition.</ref> <gallery>S6922_Film_Set_Stock_D_Cooke.jpg||Mock carriage on a Flat ED underframe (D Cooke)</gallery>
The wagon’s original identities were unknown at the time of arrival and they were allocated the temporary SVR numbers 14191/2/3. They were also originally thought to be 'horse box underframes'.<ref name=SB7/> Subsequent research revealed their true purpose and confirmed their identities as 906811, [[BR 906825 Flat ED|906825]] and [[BR 906830 Flat ED|906830]], although the most recent edition of the SVR Stock Book (June 1998) listed the third as 906930.
