Likely to have been initially loaded under the large Elevators at Dublin, Waterford and Cork ports and unloaded by gravity at mills around the country, apparently wagons were unloaded through a hole in a road bridge in Limerick and the grain then transhipped by road to Ranks Mill in the Docks. There is also a photo (possibly O'Dea collection) of grain being transhipped from a grain wagon to a truck at Fermoy during the 60s using a portable conveyor The GSR originally built 10 hoppers for its own use and 8 for Ranks traffic during the 1930s, the increase in traffic that lead to CIE converting H Vans to grain wagons likely to be tied up with large scale mechanisation of agriculture in Ireland during the 50s leading to increased grain growing and use of grain as stock feed (Anglo-Irish Free Trade Agreement? Ferns County Wexford seems to have become a significant originating point in the 50 with Ferns-Ballysodare possibly Ardee traffic flows. Grain seems to have been stored for loading in a typical Irish curved roofed agricultural/industrial building as opposed to a silo/elevator at Ferns and loaded through covered conveyors that projected out of the building. Some photos of arrangements for loading/unloading at Clara.  Built 1930s quite a contrast with stone mills built during 19th Century Ranks Mill Clara 1990s Elevator on left, drystore? on right, seems to have been 2 siding in this area.

Looks like the discharge point was set up for unloading trucks after rail traffic ceased during the Mid 70s. Clara an industrial town once relatively busy with freight traffic mainly tied up with the Goodbody family. Jute mill served by a long siding west of the station and Goodbodys later Ranks Mill at the rear of the station and two goods yards with its own pilot loco laterly a G Class

Interesting seeing IRM announcing the release of the Bulk Grain wagon before announcing the H Van from which its derived. The Bulk Grain variant of the H Van was a relatively rare and camera shy type. Apart from the Wicklow photo accessible on the IRRS Flickr site, there is a photo of two distinct variants of the wagon at Ballysodare Mill in JHBs and Barry Carse's Rails through the West. Stephen's comment of the wagons in a 3 pack retailing in Ireland at €26 each (incl Vat) is an interesting one , it currently costs me €25 (excl vat) to produce 3D printed versions of the GSWR & early CIE versions of the H Van in undecorated-kit form, and illustrates the impossibility of producing kits or quality 3D printed models at a similar price point to plastic injection models. I am not complaining I was aware for several years that IRM were likely to be planning to release "Bulleid Wagons" and went down the 3D printed road seeing a narrow window of opportunity to produce a range of pre-Bulleid era wagons before IRM released its range of Bulleid era wagons.   

Looks to be a bit more complex then the West Cork Model Railway Village 

I saw a youtube clip somewhere of a "driver's eye view" where they've put a small camera, presumably on a wagon, being pushed about by a loco. While the views here are from "above", and the youtube thing was track level, this looks familiar. I have no idea what the youtube clip is called, unfortunately, but a bit of determined detective work might reveal it.   (Update; Galteemore above has beaten me to it!!!! And it IS the same one......)
