Steam loco No. 40043 @ Harrow & Wealdstone station - c1952

One of a collection of 3" x 2" amateur transport photographs, all dating between 1947 and 1952. This one is probably of locomotive No. 40043, seen here taking on water at Harrow & Wealdstone railway station in c.1950, unfortunately there are no details on the back of this photo.

🚃 Thanks to 'james freeman' for help with the location/number:-
"its more like 40043 as they were push pull fitted steam locos for the stanmore village station."
and
"40043 was one of the regular steam locos on the branch line and 40043 stayed to the end when the line closed." 🚃

🚃 Thanks to JB (KK 69521) for this:-
wonder if this may have been the last day of trains to Stanmore Village station? (it closed to passengers in September 1952, the line stayed in passenger use as far as Belmont until 1964)
More, but no 'last day' pictures at www.disused-stations.org.uk/s/stanmore_village/ 🚃

Locomotive No. 40043 was a class 3P 2-6-2T tank engine, new to LMS in Jun 1931 carrying number 15542, in May 1934 it was renumbered as 43, and in Sep 1949 was renumbered by BR to 40043. It was withdrawn in Nov 1959, and scrapped in May of the following year.
