50036, outward leg of The Brewer's Droop, London Paddington-London-Waterloo-(via-Salisbury), Melksham Dunch Lane
50036 brings the The Brewer's Droop railtour into Melksham taken
from Dunch Lane just to the north of the town. The train had stopped for 2½ hours at Swindon and is about to do the same here at Melksham arriving at 12.45. 50036 was not quite ten years old when this photograph was taken, and was named 'Victorious' just three days later. It was a shame that this didn't happen in time for its railtour duties!
