Railway heads may wish to boogie on over to this site to look at a fifteen-minute video of the Fry Model Railway, which is to be evicted from its home at Malahide Castle.
The National Museum thinks saving the Fry isn’t really quite its sort of thing; no doubt it’s busy with its collection of frocks. It appears to possess one model steam railway locomotive; it has no steam engine, no diesel engine, but lots of stamps and coins.
The Fry includes some waterways items.
Irish waterways history 
To fail to appreciate the importance of the Fry Model Railway to Irish transport history is indeed sad. I have followed the news of its problems via the RPSI and Modelrail. It is truly sad if it gets caught up in the aftermath of the financial meltdown. However I have no easy solutions. The Fry set up requires to be treated seriously and if the likes of OPW will not act, who will? Would Stradbally or Straffan offer a safe haven? Was it not G P Keen’s amazing model railway which due to British disinterest ended up in the south of France?
