H & W loco?

[K801]

Hello

anybody know if this is a H & W loco or what is it?

Good evening MAK

I'm 99.99% sure that is not a H&W loco. They only built eight and four were for NI (BCDR and NCC) , none of which looked like that, in fact the H&W machines had a certain family likeness, quite unlike this loco - see -

At a guess, it's a British industrial of some kind - where was it taken?

Yorkshire Engine Co?

Looks like it to me. Its not identical but we're looking at the offside. That sloping engine compartment must be fairly unusual

This is a Yorkshire Engine Company locomotive, works number YE2481 used by British Steel. If you look closely, next to the cab window is the number BSC 1.

The first picture in this thread is of BSC 2 which is works number YE2480.

 

 

This picture found on the internet when searching for the Yorkshire Engine Company.
