Ion channel genealogy lists 524 NEURON calcium channel models, not all distinct. If you click that link, you'll see them grouped by similarity. Clicking on an individual model (dot) in the figure will load it in the channel details pane on the bottom right. The info tab (opened by default) contains extensive metadata about the model. The traces tab shows how that channel responds to various stimuli.
Once you've found a model that is applicable to your situation and has the kinetics you expect, note the filename, then click through the ModelDB link and find that file.
Put care in choosing which channels you put together in a model. Remember the Hodgkin-Huxley model is for a squid axon in cold temperatures (NEURON defaults to a temperature of 6.3 C). It wouldn't make sense to mix that with a temperature-sensitive mammalian model, because at least one of them would be at an non-physiological temperature.
