The Fry Model Railway
 The
Fry Model Railway is a unique collection of handmade models
of Irish trains, from the beginning of rail travel to modern
times. One of the world’s largest miniature railways,
the exhibition is unique in that it is a working railway
covering an area of 2,500 sq. feet.
Situated in the beautiful grounds surrounding Malahide Castle,
this delightful collection is a treat for railway enthusiasts,
children and adults alike. The beautifully engineered models
are from a collection originally built up in the 1920s and
1930s by Cyril Fry, a railway engineer and draughtsman, with
each piece assembled with the finest attention to detail.
Irish and international exhibits from the earliest railway
developments are run on a Grand Transport Complex which includes
stations, bridges, trams, buses, barges and even the river
Liffey… pick out the models of Cork and Heuston Stations,
O’Connell Bridge and other Dublin landmarks, perfectly
constructed in miniature. Definitely a treat for all the
family including adults.
The Fry Model Railway is operated by Dublin Tourism Attractions
in conjunction with Fingal County Council.
