Colin Garratt lives in a small Leicestershire village overlooking the
bridge from which he watched his first steam train in 1949. That bridge
was the starting point of his world wide travels recording in words and
on film the survivors of the steam age. He has already covered some
thirty countries and is still running a desperate race against time, as
every country in the world has declared against steam traction and many
have already eradicated it.
Colin undertakes an annual season of
lectures for the Pentacon Praktica manufacturers of cameras and lenses,
and his personal lectures and slide tape portfolios - based on his
travels - are popular with schools and societies. He also takes
photographic classes and contributes to various magazines.
