Barleylands RIP
I don't think it was widely publicly known, reading back through this looks like they sent out letters to machine owners, but publicly there was no mention on local signs that it would be the last one nor in local paper etc.
First I knew about it was when the organisers of the orsett show posted it a few days after barleylands, but there was no direct post from the organisers of barleylands themselves, not even on their Facebook page. So I assumed the decision was made after the event, but the letters they sent out seem to suggest it was beforehand already decided but I didn't see anything at all locally about it being the last
Then a few months later I saw Barnard's miniature railway posting they had purchased the miniature steam train stock from barleylands. They have since sold on 1 of the trains.
