Found an amazing custom built but unfinished O Gauge Switcher. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me anything about it.

This engine was at the bottom of a box of trains I bought.  It's very heavy, probably around 10lbs and looks to be almost entirely made of Diecast steel, brass or copper and steel with a mammoth motor and the most heavy duty drive system I've ever seen on an O Scale model train.  This thing was meant to pull a serious amount of cars.  The motor is partially wired but there are no roller pickups and it looks like it was never run.  There isn't a single identifying mark, name or number on it.  I would think it is probably from some kind of kit but maybe the owner created it out of scratch.  I'm going to try and get it working and any information I can find out would be greatly appreciated!!
