Last day of operation for the season is on September 27th 2009

The Fry Model Railway is a unique collection of handmade models of Irish trains, from the beginning of rail travel to modern times.

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 1930's to the 1960's 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, barges and even the River Liffey.

RTΙ, Ireland's national broadcaster, recently featured Malahide Castle and Fry Model Railway in their Nationwide series. View the clip here!

Definitely a treat for all the family!
