Can anyone identify the loco?

It looks like it was the cab from a class 50, and from what little remains of the paintwork, I would hazard a guess that it was probably in NSE livery when it was dumped. I hope that helps

Definitely a 50, but can't be any more specific than that.

Any idea of the location of the cab?

ISTR the cab of 50037 is extant. It used to be at Bo'ness but is now elsewhere - possibly Barrow Hill?

If you know where it is/was then I expect someone will know what loco it came off.

As above, it's definitely a 50.

If you know where it is/was...

From the URL, it is in Sheffield. A Google search finds this speculation:

That might be the cab of 50011 - it used to be pretty much dumped out the back of Crewe Heritage Centre but disappeared sometime after. Either that or it could be the cab of the one that sat at Coventry rotting away for years (50040).. think it may have ended up at Booths.. so not that far away.
