Fry Collection and Model Railway To Be Located Here

I received some exciting news today:
Minister for Transport, Tourism & Sport Leo Varadkar has
today (Friday) welcomed a breakthrough for the Fry Collection and
Model Railway, which is set to return to Malahide in County
Dublin.
The model railway, which contains a model of every type of train
that ran on the railways of Ireland, will be the centrepiece of a
new €2 million tourism development at the site of the old Casino
House in Malahide.
Fáilte Ireland and Fingal County Council are in the final stages
of negotiations over the return of the model railway to Malahide,
where it will be open to the public in a purpose-built building
next to the old Casino House.
Speaking today, Minister Varadkar said: “I’m delighted that this
matter has finally been resolved. The Fry Collection and Model
Railway will be a valuable addition to the growing range of
tourist attractions which Malahide has to offer.”
The project has four major components:
· The construction of a new museum building to house the Fry
Model Railway and other children’s and educational displays, a
shop and visitor toilets;
· The restoration, preservation and conservation of the historic
Casino House thatched building;
· The professional conservation of the Fry models, the upgrading
of the presentation, and particularly the interpretation of the
Fry Collection and the layout;
· The treatment of the site as a heritage, educational and
recreational amenity for the community of Malahide.
Minister Varadkar said it is important to acknowledge the late
Michael Gaffney, whose generosity facilitated this development,
and whose representatives are working closely with Fingal County
Council to finalise arrangements. He thanked Cllr Anthony Lavin,
Deputy Alan Farrell and Minister James Reilly for their efforts.
The Minister also acknowledged Cyril Fry’s life-long work
developing the collection, and thanked his family for their
commitment that the collection be properly looked after and
displayed.
“I know the local community has been fully behind the efforts to
preserve the Casino House and to bring the Fry collection back to
Malahide and I am delighted that this will now be possible.”
Minister Varadkar said.
The Fry Collection and Model Railway was created by Cyril Fry and
his family over a period of almost 40 years. Its historical
significance is that it contains a model of every train that ran
on the railways of Ireland, including experimental trains like
the turf burning model. The Dart and Luas are both represented.
It was acquired by Dublin Tourism from the Fry family in the
1970s based on a legal agreement, including a covenant to
preserve and present the collection for public education and
enjoyment. The Museum, working layout and collection were housed
in a purpose-built building in the courtyard of Malahide Castle
until 2010, and was decommissioned and removed to storage in
early 2011.
The Historic Casino House is a thatched ‘Cottage Orne’ dating
from at least the 18th century. The ‘Cottage Orne’ resulted from
the picturesque movement of the late 18th, early 19th century and
was represented by smallish houses built in an ornate traditional
and artificial rustic manner. They are characterised by thatch
and the use of often ornate timber facings and features with
climbing roses. They were usually attached to larger estates such
as Malahide Castle. The Casino House, given its location, was
probably a type of romantic summer house or estate pavilion where
people would gather for afternoon tea or a picnic during the
summer days.

Malahide Is A Pleasant Coastal Suburban Town Not Far From Dublin
infomatique posted a photo:
While there are some remnants of prehistoric activity, Malahide
is known to have become a persistent settlement from the coming
of the Vikings, who landed in 795, and used Malahide Estuary
(along with Baldoyle) as a convenient base.
With the arrival of the Anglo-Normans, the last Danish King of
Dublin retired to the area in 1171. From the 1180s, the history
of the area is tied to that of the Talbot family of Malahide
Castle, who were granted extensive lands in the area and over the
centuries following developed their estate, and the small harbour
settlement.
By the early 19th century, the village had a population of over
1000, and a number of local industries, including salt
harvesting, while the harbour continued in commercial operation,
with landings of coal and construction materials. By 1831, the
population had reached 1223. The area grew in popularity in
Georgian times as a seaside resort for wealthy Dublin city
dwellers. This is still evident today from the fine collection of
Georgian houses in the town and along the seafront, and Malahide
is still a popular spot for day-trippers, especially in the
summer months.
In the 1960s, developers began to build housing estates around
the village core of Malahide, launching the first, Ard na Mara in
1964. Further estates followed, to the northwest, south and west,
but the village core remained intact, with the addition of a
"marina apartment complex" development adjacent to the village
green.
