Im interested in doing a similiar setup with a kubota 3 cyl diesel for a 1/8 scale 7.5 gauge train...but i need reverse too... still researching...

There is a lot of craftsmanship seen there! I see a lot of room for improvement with more aerodynamics on the parts that are exposed and the gearing that you talked about. Round in the front and pointed in the rear, like exposed aircraft parts in the tear drop shape. I have been following Craig Vetter in his High Mileage contests in Ohio and in Ca., CraigVetter.com. I am putting a vehicle together to compete in one of his real world Mileage Contests. The rules are room for 4 bags of groceries, 70mph in up to 30mph headwinds and 100mpg! Keep up the good work and I am excited to see your progress! Mike :{) WOW, very nice job! There is a lot of craftsmanship seen there!
