The Casino and the Fry Model Railway

In May of last year I blogged about the fact that The Casino was to come into public ownership and to rescue the Fry Model Railway (which had left Malahide destined for Busáras). All thanks to the generosity of local benefactor Michéal Gaffney who left money in his will for this express purpose.

A leaflet come through our door today with the following update from the local TD:

• A purchase proposal has been made to the representatives of Mr Gaffney's estate
• Once approved, funding will be made available to Fingal County Council for the purchase and the development

So the wheels seems to be turning slowly but at least they are turning. Things still seem to be on target for "Summer 2014".

You can see a "virtual tour" of how the model railway looked in its old location at the Castle here.
