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.
