PMPM Forms Partnership with Bassetlaw District County
The Pilgrim Monument and Provincetown Museum (PMPM) has formed a partnership with Bassetlaw District Council in Scrooby, England, where several Mayflower Pilgrims were from, including William Brewster. The partnership’s goal is to strengthen ties, both cultural and educational, between the two regions in conjunction with the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower landing in the New World in Provincetown Harbor in 1620. The Bassetlaw District Council has produced a video for a grant submission to the Heritage Lottery Fund in London to further their activities to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the Pilgrims departing England for America. PMPM Executive Director is featured in this video as he was interviewed during a visit to the Bassetlaw District in July.

A busy hot afternoon at Retford on the East Coast Mainline on Thursday 18th April 2019.
Retford info:
Retford railway station is on the East Coast Main Line in the United Kingdom, serving the town of Retford, Nottinghamshire. It is 138 miles 49 chains (223.1 km) down the line from London King's Cross and is situated between Newark North Gate and Doncaster on the main line.
It has four platforms, two of which serve the main line and the other two, located at a lower level and at right angles to the first pair, serve the Sheffield to Lincoln Line.
The station:
The first railway into Retford was the Sheffield and Lincolnshire Junction Railway which opened on 16 July 1849 on their line between Sheffield (Bridgehouses) and Gainsborough. The Great Northern Railway line from Doncaster arrived on 4 September 1849 crossing the S&LJR on the level. It used the latter's station until its own was completed (on the site of today's higher-level platforms) on 1 August 1852. On 1 July 1859, the S&LJR (now the Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway) began using the GNR station via a short connecting curve, and closed its original station.
The higher-level platforms (numbered 1 and 2) respectively serve southbound and northbound East Coast Main Line trains operated by London North Eastern Railway which call at Retford. Platform 1 (on the eastern side of the layout) adjoins the main station building. Between the two platforms tracks there are two further lines. Used for fast services
Prior to the remodelling of the station, the two lines crossed at a flat crossing with a curve connecting the northern and eastern tracks, allowing trains on the Sheffield-Gainsborough line to call at the station. There were two northbound platforms - platform 2 (now closed) was on the eastern side of an island platform and platform 3 on the opposite side (still in use, now renumbered 2). Platform 1 handled southbound and eastbound trains. In addition, there was a single southbound line which passed in between platforms 1 and 2, rather than the two lines in place today. To relieve congestion on platform 1, there was a timber-built extension on the south curve (platform 1A) to allow Lincoln-bound trains to clear platform 1 proper.
The new lower-level platforms (originally numbered 4 and 5, now re-numbered 3 and 4) were added when the flat crossing between the two lines was removed and replaced with a bridge in 1965 and the Sheffield-Gainsborough tracks lowered to pass beneath the main line. These works also necessitated the removal of the direct north-to-east curve, meaning that trains between Sheffield and Lincoln could no longer call at the original platforms without a reversal.
The former Buffet and First Class Dining room on platform 1 are currently used as clubrooms by The Bassetlaw (North Notts) Railway Society. The club has installed an interesting display of local railway images in the windows of the rooms.
Facilities:
The station is staffed throughout the week, with most amenities (booking office, toilets, coffee shop and vending machine) in the main building on platforms 1. The ticket office is manned Monday - Friday 05:35 - 18:00, Saturday 05:35 - 16:10 and Sunday 08:20 - 16:10. A self-service ticket machine is also provided for use when the booking office is closed and for collecting pre-paid tickets. Train running information is offered via automated announcements, CIS displays and timetable posters. There are also customer help points on both low-level platforms, along with waiting shelters. All platforms are fully accessible for disabled passengers via lifts and a subway, although platform 3 (for Sheffield) can only be reached via a barrow crossing and requires staff assistance.
Accidents and incidents:
On 13 February 1923, an express passenger train overran signals and was in a rear-end collision with a goods train. Three people were killed.
References in popular culture:
Bill Bryson comments of Retford station, in his book Notes from a Small Island, that it is shown on railway maps in a typeface (and large filled circle graphic) marking it as equivalent to much more notable cities in northern England, and he therefore deemed it worth a visit.
Michael Palin of Monty Python fame recalls frequently visiting Retford Station as a youngster for train spotting, as it was in easy reach of his home city of Sheffield and provided access to legendary locomotives like the Flying Scotsman running on the East Coast Main Line.
Services:
ECML:
The station's High Level platforms are served by London North Eastern Railway on a basic two-hourly frequency each way Mon-Fri, northbound to York and southbound to London King's Cross. Additional peak period services run to/from Leeds, Edinburgh and Newcastle. A similar basic frequency also operates on Saturdays, but trains run through to Edinburgh or Leeds. Hull Trains also call here.

2018 Nov 18 Bassetlaw (North Notts) Railway Society Model Railway Exhibition
This is the final model railway exhibition I have filmed in 2018. This one is the Bassetlaw (North Notts) Railway Society Annual Exhibition, Held at Retford Town Hall, Nottinghamshire.
Some interesting layouts here, with particularly striking use of locomotive sounds on many layouts. And for you Lego fans, a large city built with its own urban railway.
I hope you have all enjoyed seeing these videos over the past year. I hope to cover more in 2019, and would welcome any suggestions you would like to see (within easy reach of the East Midlands, UK, if possible!).
Wishing everyone a peaceful 2019, and as ever please subscribe if you like what you see here - my goal is to hit 1,000 subscribers in 2019, which will mean receiving modest royalties on YouTube.

The 31st Shoeburyness Model Railway Club Show 24th Nov 2013 held at Garons, Southend.
The show features a range of modelling but is focussed around train layouts. Mainly N, 0, and 00 gauges but there was also G gauge and S gauge (American Flyer in between H0 and 0 at 1/65th scale).
You will also see a little Games Workshop 40K modelling going on, plus there were many dealers tables there and other layouts and club stands I haven't shown, from Hovercraft, Steam engines, Scaletric and radio control trucks, to a wonderful 1/8th scale metal Tiger tank - you should have gone to see these ;-) This yearly event is well worth a vist.

A look around the Kernow/Bachmann class 205 Thumper DEMU with sound.
The pride of my fleet. The Bachmann class 205 'Thumper' DEMU fitted with dcc-sound as supplied by Kernow. The unit is seen pottering around my 'Uckfield' layout
Looks and detail - brilliant.
Running - brilliant - will absolutely crawl along
Sound - very good (not too sure that the whistle is quite right, but it's better than having air horns on it!)
