Description

Withdrawn locomotives and railway scrapyards have always exerted a morbid fascination for railway enthusiasts and certainly the well known photographer and author Colin Garratt found them irresistible as witnessed by the great number of images he took of them during his lifetime. They undoubtedly presented great opportunities to both amateur and professional photographers to achieve that “artistic shot” sought by so many cameramen but realised by so few. I hope you will agree that Colin certainly had an eye for the unusual angle and that he achieved a level of artistry in the images taken at the three UK scrapyards, which handled a variety of rolling stock from the 1960s to the 1990s, that are showcased in this volume.
