Crabfu:

Why not run the tank the other way... get a spare pan (or have one made) then you place the gearbox in front. You could lower the Wilesco into the chassis further back, and load the burner-pan from a hinged transom plate instead of having it wedged in the front (how do you load the fuel like that?)

Another option is stretching the chassis to gain the space (again with a custom chassis... For more tracks, get Kenny Kong to send you as many extra links as you need... He makes gorgeous metal-cast track-links.
