I don't believe the wheels are insulated, which is a big obstacle, and since the wheels definitely aren't RP25, I'm not sure how hard you want to work on that, even with a lathe. Also, I believe typical Maerklin continues to be just a 4-wheel power truck. You're probably much better off seeing if you can mount the body on an Atlas AEM-7 chassis.
