Lovely, and many thanks for the pointer. Another source for me to trawl and reproduce on my various diatribes! Note that AEC 2630 is in the early BnT livery, though fitted with a driver's door in the normal BnT livery which nicely illustrates the difference in the depth of the orange band. And when I make some more progress on my CIE green livery thread and you all start thinking I'm crazy when I talk about green roofs, those West Clare railcars are a fine example. -

I would be inclined to build something simple to start with rather than trying to fill the shed with a large layout from the start. A 6’ x 4’ oval with a few sidings in 00 scale to build up your experience and explore what’s possible. -

Latest addition sees a studio scale Models Bandon tank. This one was don’t by a member of this forum and has a thread from many years ago on here somehere in its construction Bandon tanks have 3 variants -As built -GSR rebuild -CIE retrograde (refuted with original firebox and smokebox but retain wide windows) the only loco to stay “as Built” into the 1950s was no.470. Which kept her original saturated boiler and round top firebox. The loco worked up to the end of the West Cork, being withdrawn in 1961. 470 also ventured to the DSER at one stage while plans to produce a ready to run Bandon tank for the masses is still underway, it’s always nice to have a few of them around! -

Just in case members aren’t aware (because I have accidentally gatekept sources before) There is som very nice photographs on this guys Flickr page, these are a taster check albums “Irish broad gauge” and “Irish narrow gauge” -
My preference would be for fine details (e.g. door handles, brake gear) and potentially fragile parts (e.g. buffers) to be separate. They aren't very robust as printed components, more likely to cause a high reject rate and be easily broken when the model is handled. If I was building the wagon I'd replace them with metal parts anyway. Incidentally I found the original MGWR wagon diagram for these vans in the IRRS archive, along with diagrams for many other wagons.
