I have no idea about the date, but i noticed there is a steam train but electrified tracks. So i figure it must be sometime around the change over. (Or is that 1955 as suggested by Jim?)

1956. It's an (ex) LMS tank, but don't let that confuse you....
And steam lasted in that location for several more years.

Well done Russ. You applied the Harsig principles of trackplans being the answer. That's how he himself got it earlier.
Barking, 1956

I thought it was Wembley Park precisely _because_ it was an LMS tank; didn't the GC see a lot of smallish LMS locos on the semifasts after the express trains were withdrawn?

Ahhh TOK. Perhaps you didn't know that what is now the London Tilbury and Southend line (c2c) was always part of the Midland empire, even after Nationalisation in 1947. The rest of the area became Eastern region but LTS remained Midland.
Hence the Midland tanks.
