Exhibition’s founder was a railway engineer and draughtsman, Cyril Fry. He  built this model and  completed with lots of miniature vehicles, including buses, trams and lorries. It was to become a labour of love that lasted from 1930s to the 1960s. The layout grew so big that it filled his bungalow in Churchtown and was later relocated to Malahide Castle.
