looks like a long abandoned battery loco.

Not a battery loco.

It is L11, *1960s built out of two ex-"standard" stock motor coaches,
each cut in half, and the two motorised ends mated to make a BoBo out
of what were two Bo2 cars. Straight electric, not battery, its motors
pairs in series only, no parallel, for slow speed shunting. Was the
Acton works shunter until early 1990s or so.

Thank you for the info. Interesting. Wonder why it was left there
though?
