The Fry Model Railway and collection consists of an O gauge working miniature rail display that grew to {{convert|2500|sqft|m2}} primarily depicting Ireland in the 1920s—1930s. The collection includes handbuilt models of Irish features, stations and trains throughout the ages.

The railway was moved from its' previous home in Malahide Castle in 2010. In September 2017 the exhibition was expected to re-open in 2019 following refurbishment of the 'Casino' cottage building near Malahide railway station.[2]. By the end of April 2018 some progress had been made with the tendering process complete and the contractor having commenced on site with extension and refurbishment of the Casino Cottage to complete in February 2019 with public opening in Spring 2019.[3][4] Expected costs have risen from €2.4 million to €2.7 million[4][6] and on to €3.2 million.[7]

History

The layout and collection was created by the railway engineer and draughtsman Cyril Fry, an employee of Inchicore Works, and his family. It outgrew his bungalow in Churchtown, Dublin and passed to Dublin Tourism in the 1970s.[8] Following work by retired CIÉ craftsman Thomas Tighe at Inchicore Works the model railway was moved to Malahide Castle in 1988.

Move from Malahide Castle

The exhibition was forced to be removed to storage for the redevelopment of Malahide Castle in 2010 following notice from the owners Fingal County Council.[9] A 'Friends of the Fry Model Railway' association was formed and initial suggestions of where to relocate included Collins Barracks, Dublin.[9] The only viable proposal to emerge was to re-open the railway at the basement Eblana Theatre in the Bus Éireann station in Dublin.[11] An unexpected turn of events was that a wealthy farmer who died in January 2012 left a bequest of €1.5m to restore the Casino House cottage near Malahide railway station but a condition of the legacy was that it be used to hold the Fry model railway exhibition.[12] Fáilte Ireland initially wished to continue with the Bus Éireann option however this would have lost the conditions for the bequest.[13] By April 2012 Fingal County Council determined to accept the bequest and the incumbent transport minister Leo Varadkar indicated he was delighted the matter was resolved.[8] In a Malahide/Howth area committee meeting in June 2017 councillors expressed frustrations over the delays but that matters concerning heritage buildings were complex and of the need to meet the constraints of the funding bequest.[15] {{As of|October 2018}} the exhibition remains broadly on the September 2017 plan to re-open in early 2019 in Malahide following refurbishment and extension of the Casino building.[17][3][7]

Casino House

Casino House, which is intended to house the Fry Model Railway following refurbishment and extension, was built around 1750ref name="NIAH"/> though some claims date it earlier to late 17th century.[8][21] It is a two story thatched house with eight bays.[22] It was a shooting lodge for the Talbot family (though some have suggested a romantic summer house[8]) and remained with the family until 1927.[21] The building has been allowed to deteriorate.[15][26][27]

Layout and collection

The O gauge[28] collection of about 360 rail vehicles[6] layout represents Irish railway heritage since the about the 1840s[9] through to more recent representations of the Dublin Area Rapid Transit and the Luas.[8] The main line section was designed to represent Dublin - Belfast - Cork whilst even an Irish Sea mail Packet boat was represented in the background.[9]. While the models were usually accurate the Drumm Battery Train model appears to be have been taken from preliminary drawings incorporating streamlined ends which did not appear in the actual train.[33]
