Two possible conversions come to mind for me with this set:

1. Mount the engine body on a Big-Haulers mechanism, with some adjustment for the pilot truck wheel spacing and such, or...

2. Mount an Aristocraft or USA Trains 3-axle diesel truck block in the tender, under the tender body shell. 

Both should be pretty cheap and would probably make it run better too.
