50046 'Ajax' is working hard leading the 11.50 Paddington to Paignton summer express as it climbs towards Whiteball summit. It is about to pass under Wellington's B3187 Milverton Road bridge just south of the site of the former station. It is running adjacent to a disused siding leading towards the Reylon factory. I wonder if the siding was used in connection with Reylon's distribution needs in the past; local knowledge anybody? Reylon is still on this site today manufacturing high-quality hand made beds for those people with a little more money to spend! Unfortunately, 50046 is not with us today being cut up by MC Metals in Glasgow during June 1992.
