When you said you had a LGB starter set, you did not say what rolling stock you have - coaches or wagons. The coaches are very German, and thus would not look great behind a Mamod, which is basically Welsh.
I do not have any LGB stock, just Faller E-Train which is a bit smaller I believe.
Ask steamyjim as he has 45mm locos, although I've not seen any of his rolling stock posted on here.

I dont have the starter set just the coaches which I have painted LMS maroon with white window frames and some others bits and pieces to make them look more british  Time to call in rule 8 which means its my railway and Ill run what I want with whatever I want

you know I think I will just forget the mamod for now (I hope I dont get burned at the stake for that  ) and get a mortimer which I think will go much better with my stock but will make a mamod my next purchase.

good idea
the mamod would baulk at the two LGB coaches unless it was totally uprated. Then it would have no problem.

Sorry, I was just going by your previous posting.

As Tony has said, you don't have to love Mamods to be a member here. So any postings on steam Locomotives are very welcome here, as this forum seems to have been somewhat quiet of late.
Good luck with the Mortimer. We've not seen one on this forum yet I believe, so reading about your experiences with it will be a pleasure.
A Mamod will go well with the IP Eng Locos and stock, so hope you are successful getting one of those in the future.
