==Preservation==The SVR’s 3 Flat ED wagons, 906811, 906825 and 906930, were bought from BR by Universal Pictures and arrived on for use in the SVR in July 1975, being used as mock carriages in making of the film [[The Seven-Per-Cent Solution]]. 906811 is photographed at Bridgnorth , and arrived on the SVR from Kettering in March 2015July 1975.

They were also originally thought to be 'horse box underframes'.<brref 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. It is not clear which temporary ID belonged to which wagon as now numbered. Two of the Flat EDs, then numbered 14191 and 14192, formed part of the [[The Severn Valley Railway on the main line#SVR Wagons used on the main line in preservation | demonstration goods train]] which ran on the main line to Newport behind [[2857|GWR 2857]] as part of the 1985 GWR 150 celebrations.
