16t mineral wagons as beet wagons?

[murphaph]

I was watching the following video and at 4 mins there's something I've never noticed before. In a rake of double deck beet wagons there's what looks like a 16t mineral wagon body but with forklift slots. What's the story with that wagon?

That was a one-off experimental wagon which only ran - I THINK - in the last couple of seasons.

Much appreciated. Now I understand why I've never seen it before. Was it from the UK or built in Ireland or where did it come from?

Built in either Inchicore (I think) or possibly Limerick.
