The concept is to encourage children’s natural curiosity through interactive elements as their train journey unfolds, enabling them to engage, connect, and be taken on an immersive rail journey. The Museum aims to appeal to a younger audience while still engaging with all demographics.
Casino Model Railway Museum, Malahide
This new project has been delivered to Casino Model Railway Museum, Malahide as part of a collaboration between Fingal County Council, Iarnród Éireann, and Alstom.
This new Children’s Interpretative Centre will give visitors a chance to see what it is like to drive a life-sized Iarnród Éireann train engine carriage. This was launched on Tuesday, May 9, 2023.
The new visitor attraction maximizes technology, with layered sights and sounds and digital screens on the windows of the carriage to help add to the experience. All these elements deliver educational and experiential content with energy and momentum. As each new subject is introduced you dramatically exit dark tunnels of fast-moving dappled light. To enhance the interactive nature of the experience, tactile and interactive elements have been incorporated allowing guests to engage with the content and experience as the journey unfolds.
The Casino Model Railway Museum is an integral heritage attraction to the village and the broader region of Fingal, and it is located next to Malahide Train Station providing easy access for families to travel there by train.
The Casino Model Railway is easily accessible by bus, train, and DART from Dublin City Centre
