So then all that would really be left... is to extend the windshield out to the nose like a bullet train. Since you're going to be pulling a caboose anyway...

So, if you just wanted to test out the theory to see where you are on the potential-gains curve, could you test out some taller tires for awhile? Or have you no room for that? (Or does re-wheeling not really accomplish this?)
