I'm not sure whether it will be of any practical use, but the Computer History Museum in Mountain View has an IBM 1401 on display, along with some IBM 026 card punches. They do demos of the hardware, and they'll sometimes punch little bits of data into cards, if you request it (my wife got our names punched in). I don't know about larger requests, like punching realistic program data into multiple cards, but it couldn't hurt to ask, right? They've got contact info on their site: http://www.computerhistory.org/contact/ http://www.computerhistory.org/contact/ It may be worth it to send an e-mail to see what you could work out.
