Graham Ellis, steam preservationist - obituary
Steam enthusiast who created a small railway on Mull and saved the steamship Sir Walter Scott

Graham Ellis, who has died aged 90, was an influential figure in the steam preservation movement whose modesty denied him full credit. He helped to preserve the Steamtown locomotive depot at Carnforth, created a narrow gauge railway on Mull and, in his eighties, played a leading part in saving the historic steamship Sir Walter Scott from the scrapheap.

In order to avoid any possible conclusion.

This gentleman shared my name (there are others too) but any reports of my demise are premature.  I'm alive, well and kicking.

He seems to have an 'e' missing in his name?

So does our Graham - the "e" is just part of his user name.
