overhauled by the Wagon Department between 2016-2018
The GWR 'Conflat' was a flat wagon originally designed to carry interchangeable wooden containers, which were secured using chains kept in pockets on the side of the wagon. Container Wagon 39860 was built at Swindon in 1935. It last saw service at Swindon Works where it was used for transporting diesel motors to and from depots.
It arrived on the SVR from Swindon in December 1986 and was restored at Bewdley in April 1987. It was used in filming [[Oh, Doctor Beeching!]] at Arley in 1996. It was overhauled by the [[Wagon Department]] between 2016-2018.
39860 is owned by [[The GWR 813 Preservation Fund]] and is unique, being the only surviving 'Conflat' wagon.
