- Starting at the off-scene sidings, we take a look at the end curves, routes, and a trip to the depot along the branch line, observing loco movements and rolling stock.
Brilliant Modeling, and my favourite BR-era as well
A fantastic layout. Spent many a happy hour or so at exhibitions watching and train spotting. So realistic of North London .
All credit to your track and point work. Propelling a long bogied train on a curve is a real test. It'd end in tears on my layout!! 😉
Hello Kier! Not only is Hornsey Broadway one of the best BR layouts I've seen, your videos are of an equally high standard. I like the natural flow of locos and trains (no stalling too!) without any fuss and bother that you see on so many other layouts.
Discovered your lovely layout yesterday after a friend sent me link.
Outstanding work!
This system never fails to inspire. It is superb and I am not a blue era person! Well done Sir and thank you so much for sharing your layout with us.
Wow sneaked a Hymek in there . Wasn’t expecting that . It’s a great layout just creates the atmosphere . Thanks for posting these videos. Thoroughly enjoying them .
Motive power shortage in the storage yard after I started filling the depot full of locos! The Hymek was near to hand and is a sweet runner.
My favourite layout, love your videos and as a Londoner growing up in that era brings back many happy memories
Great video like the detail.thanks very much.
One word, superb.
I’ve been looking for an EM gauge layout for ages and this is superb. So realistic and captures that North London feel so well. Congratulations on all your hard work. Just spotted a Class 20, my favourite!
What a well balanced, realistic and thoroughly enjoyable layout to watch. You have captured every element of the location, and thank you for sharing this with us. Also subbed.
Wonderful
Fantastic Kier. Can’t think of a better way to spend a day!
Excellent - great to see more footage of your model. Thanks, Ian.
An enjoyable trainspotting session! Cheers!
Very enjoyable. Thank you. Cheers Chris
Great video to watch love the shunting speeds
Thanks Kier. I love Hornsey Broadway layout, I’ve followed it for a while. I completely get where you’re coming from as a boy trainspotting in London during this era and you’ve captured that beautifully. This really has to be my favourite layout on the circuit. All the best.
you all prolly dont give a damn but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an instagram account??
I stupidly lost the login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
@Ares Konnor Instablaster =)
@Boone Sergio I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Boone Sergio it worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much, you really help me out!
@Ares Konnor no problem xD
Another great video Kier. Thoroughly enjoying the layout tour series. Must have been a Sunday with 3 Deltics on shed. Looking forward to seeing the station area develop further. Was the Hymek for Mike W’s benefit??
Take care and stay safe.
Cheers, Bill.

I completely get the mini slider switches for the T.O.s.. I've done the very same ..But I don't get why you didn't sink them vertically in drilled holes so only the handles are above ground. The hole doesn't need to go all the way through; just make a well for the mini's body..Then just need a smaller hole at bottom of IT for prongs and wires. But I'm guessing you know all this yet don't know why you don't do it.. Because the mini-sliders look bad above ground and on their sides..
Otherwise, your MRWy work is A1 excellent !!

A Truely great layout. You say you were a train spotter. Like myself then you probably used the Spotters viewing platform in the Finsbury Park. Any chance of incorporating it ? Maybe on a banking ?
Kier,
I see your 'heart' reply.. Thanks.. Hope you didn't mind my little critique. Curious as to what you think, and/or reason for your set up (Poss having to do with it being a fiddle yard, and yada yada.......... ? )
Not at all :) They're on their sides purely because it's easy to do it that way (lazy?) but also there's a large stretcher beam directly underneath making it difficult to fit them the way you describe, which I must admit would look better.
Excellent viewing Kier. Can I please ask What you have used as the tool van on your break down train? Thanks Stephen
The tool and staff van are featured on this page.

Thanks Kier. Now searching e bay for a kit. 😁
0:01 as if by magic the shed keeper appeared.
The Hazchem placards for road and rail transport were not introduced until 1981. .... The tank wagon at 7:24 is not correct as your layout is probably set a good few years before TOPS - which started in 1975 !!
How did you make the coaches for the Breakdown Crane, where can I get them
The vans are featured on this page www.emgauge70s.co.uk/project_cranes.html utilising a Mainline coach and a Maj kit - so some modification required.
they're blatantly exceeding the depot's 5mph speed limit ;)
That's so evident in the video, not helped by multi-tasking - (cameraman, shunter, driver, points operator all rolled into one).
11:42 - shut your eyes and you can take in the smell of oil, hard work and railway grime.
