    Where might one get these if one were so inclined?

    Not necessarily working ones just models either made up or one you have to make up. NIR are doing a 50th anniversary around the present time and I got a model of their new trains made of cardboard they have them at stations as part of the celebration.

    Can one get models of DARTs, The MIVs, 2200s etc? or just the old stuff? I see Mark III's scattered around ebay, and locomotives but no full sets.

    all ready to run, can build a couple more types from kits and find second hand. http://studio-scale-models.com/ is a good site for kits of all sorts of irish rolling stock

    mk2s, cravens, preserved cravens, ballast hoppers, cement bubbles, tara wagons all available too with 42fts and others on the way. There's a guy who custom makes DARTs,others do (poor) models of many more tyes of stock, google silver fox models

    these are all running models though, i've not idea about simple display stuff
    start here: http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/
    Marks Models have a shop in Dublin CC and Cork (i think) as well as a webstore. ehattons.com has some irish stuff as well.
    Plenty of bus models available too

    models forum on boards: https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=486 but it's full of nothing but stuff about drones recently for some reason.
