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 railway, the exhibition is unique in that it is a working railway covering an area of 2,500 sq. feet, gauge ‘0’ 1-43 scale.

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 from the 1930’s to the 1960’s by Cyril Fry, a railway engineer and draughtsman, with each piece assembled with the finest attention to detail.

Definitely a treat for all the family including adults.
