Who was Cyril Fry?

Cyril Fry was a Dublin born Model Railway enthusiast who worked as an engineer at the Inchicore trains & Railway Works.

Fry constructed his model railways over 50 years, beginning in the 1920’s up until his death in 1972. He displayed his collection in a meticulously laid out set in the attic of his home in Churchtown.

The impressive collection was taken on and displayed by Malahide Castle, but has now found a permanent home in the Casino building in Malahide Village.

Come and explore Fry’s superbly handcrafted models, and exhibition that will surely be enjoyed by generations to come.
