This LMS drop-sided wagon was built circa 1944-45 at Derby. Initially these wagons may have been used for moving small pieces of military equipment, but post-War were mainly used for moving containers, the drop-sides removing the need for chaining these down unlike ordinary flat wagons such as the “Conflat”. The wagons were vaccum-fitted, and were given the telegraph code “Medfit”.
