Life update September 2017

Just an update on how things are developing.

[@TheDiomedef16]

Thanks for updating us on your move and future plans. I think an exhibition type layout is a fantastic idea. Firstly, it will be fully portable, so no problem when you do eventually move to a permanent home. Secondly, it will give you a goal to aim for and finally, it will be somewhere for all your locos to be able to stretch their legs. I look forward to seeing what you come up with, knowing you it will be worth waiting for. Good luck with the move at the end of this month.

Bless your heart, sounds like you have really gone through the mill. Hoping all works out for you with the new place. Love the idea of an exhibition layout and yes you are more than well talented enough. Least for now you can join in on other exhibition layouts.

Well Susannah, you called this a life update and wow you sure gave us that. I thought by now you must have moved. Things always work out, we just can't see the way sometimes. I had no doubt that you would be thinking about your next layout, don't plan too strongly at the moment. Wait until you're settled things will be clearer then. In the meantime anything you have to share with us I shall watch eagerly. You mentioned Reading in this video, I spent a few hours there on the 25th. Sept. trainspotting. What a nice new station that is. I shall have a video from there sometime over the winter. As your life unfolds just know that we, your subscribers are with you, caring about you and wishing you well. Until your next update. Kind regards, David.

Hi Susannah, really appreciate you doing this video so we know you're basically okay although going through a rough patch. Nice to see you have plans for the railway and I for one am looking forward to seeing you back. You could do reviews as well on your purchases, don't need a layout for that! Cheers Jerry

Glad to hear that after all the extra stress in your life of late things appear to be looking better. I really hope everything is starting to come together for you and you can see an end to this upsetting period in your life. I am sure you have the strength to see all the challenges through and look forward to seeing your new layout, whatever it is progress and you settle in quickly in your new home. Robin

Hi Susannah, try not to worry, (I know that's easy to say from here) your true supporters will always be here, there was a time when I was without a layout, it took me 20 yrs to get my trains up and running, I used the time in between layouts by servicing my loco's and running on a oval, do what you can when you can, best of luck in your new home, I wish you only the best for the future, regards Mark

[@DungeWoodRailway]

Hi Susannah Hope you get sorted and moved okay. Glad to hear you've not lost the bug for trains. Great deal on the motorail flat :-) All the best Paul

Hi Susannah, .... Man...! You are so far away from watching this in Oct2018, who would have thought hey lass! Glad you are in a... by far better place in your live now, fair play to you, i say...! You’ve certainly fulfilled a show layout or on the way to filling that dream in Oct2018, and Live YT feeds, you may have thought, never in a million years, and what, now ‘Rails and Judy’, you Rock Girl, where others would have fallen long time ago, You certainly know how to manoeuvre your self to every obstacle in your way, you have smashed them all. Thumbs up 👍. i’d still love to meet you in person, perhaps some day shame we missed each other at SVR 50@50 hey! keep smiling and keep the YT clips coming because that’s what you do best.

Hi Susannah. Great to hear you're doing ok apart from the stress of the enforced move. The exhibition layout idea sounds like a good move . At least with it being sectional , you can move it and knowing sods law as they call it , you'll get in the new place and get a layout up and the housing association etc in Alton will offer you a place , at least with an exhibition layout you can lift it & shift it to the new location when it comes up without too much aggro. Sounds a good idea helping out with the exhibition layout as it'll give you some experience for when you do yours. look after yourself and all the best with the move :-)

[@fluo6610]

Hi Susannah, Thank you very much for the insights in your life. I admire your courage to do that on KZbin. You look tired in the video and I understand why after you explained the circumstances. I wish you all the best with the move and hope you can return as soon as possible to Alton. I like the idea of an exhibition layout. And 8 or possible 12 feet in length is enough for a modern terminus. :-) Cheers from Germany. Guido

[@sparky107107]

looking for a place to suit is hard enough when one wants to move. but to have a dead line just makes it rough and terifiying.. thanks for the up date and keep your chin up, the next place might be a stepping stone. or a new beginning for a long stay. get your self settled, small track plan, maybe a dog bone style. and things will squeek together

[@blairgowrieforestrailwayan2786]

My feeling if you start your next layout is make it modular. So that it can be moved easily.

[@railway31]

Susannah I wish you the very best of luck. I hope everything goes through ok this time keeping my fingers and toes crossed. May the tracks ahead be clear with green lights. No matter where you move to we will come with you. I am also at Southampton on that Sunday so really looking forward to seeing you again Stay strong Susannah. Darren

[@kingswoodjunction897]

There's strong and there's putting your face on KZbin strong. I can't do that yet! Hope all goes well and we get to see a new layout soon :)

[@georgewyatt6712]

Stay strong moving home is a very stressful time so good luck with the move and hope to see your train back on the scene soon good luck George

[@cardley1744]

If you build something sectional it won't be wasted if you move again (note to self!). Looks like things are on the up.

[@davestrains]

[@csxrensville5105]

Nice to hear from you. Hope everything goes ok with the move and your soon settled again. Keith

[@strangestraycat]

susannah: please hang in there. moving is very stressful especially when it is unexpected. hang in there. you do look stressed out. perfectly understandable. hold off on any layouts until you are settled. best of luck to you. God be with you.

[@gingertom64]

Good luck on the move, and look forward to future updates.

[@steburge1]

Hi Susannah, has anyone told you, that “graham foulston”, has named one of his stations, after your station, he has called one of his stations , “offord on the Hill” ; I believe in tribute to you ?

[@gordonadam4742]
