Following on from previous discussions...
I came across this on the internet for sale
"Hornby Weathered Mineral Wagons
This brand new release from Hornby features THREE Mineral Wagons, all with different numbers and factory weathered. They look stunning. Come complete in new style Hornby triple wagon box"
Don't know much about trains and less about mineral wagons but the name Weathered is interesting
Don't know if there is any connections to "Wethered" (either the Bristol family or the Cornish shaft)
I expect the Wagons were more probably used for moving fish, especially herrings of the Red variety!!!
