The 4-wheeled Flat ED was the smallest of the 6 types of BR Flat wagons with a capacity of just 12 tons, and was similar in appearance to the former LMS Deal truck. A total of 32 were built.<ref>Railway Heritage Register Wagon Survey[[Bibliography#Books|Rowland (1996)]] pp. 116, App. 4.</ref> These wagons were intended to transport large bulky loads, and were equipped with a flat timber floor and chaining down rings.<ref name=SB9>SVR Stock Book Ninth Edition</ref>

The SVR’s 3 Flat ED wagons, [[BR 906811 Flat ED|906811]], 906825 and [[BR 906830 Flat ED|906830]], were bought from BR by Universal Pictures and arrived on the SVR in July 1975, being used as mock carriages in the film [[The Seven-Per-Cent Solution]]. The Flat ED wagons are owned by [[Severn Valley Railway (Holdings) PLC | SVR(H)]].<ref>Severn Valley Railway Stock Book Ninth Edition<name=SB9/ref>

The Railway Heritage Register Wagon Survey suggests that the SVR’s three Flat EDs are the only surviving examples of the 32 originally built.<ref>Railway Heritage Register Wagon Survey</ref> A more detailed history of the three wagons may be found under [[BR 906811 Flat ED|906811]].
