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?

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.
