The C30-7s were FINE locomotives, and this example looks wonderful !!!!

For those of us not in the know, how complete an engine is this? Was wondering if it were just a shell without a prime mover, generator and traction motors, or if it’s relatively complete and could be made operational without too much expense?

According to comments on Facebook, "Electrical cabinet missing components, no equipment blower, no main generator, no prime mover, no air compressor, no dynamic brake grid, no traction motors." So it sounds unlikely that it will be more than a display piece anytime soon. They do have an operable L&N SW1500 and an operable N&W SD40-2 though.
