You dont run beside the small ones anyway. Considering you are experianced at driving your loco (took me about 10 runs to get used to it). When you get to know the loco you can set a nice train behind it and set a good speed and leave it for 10 minutes, then stop it top up with water and meths and let it go again 
Well thats what i do anyway

I agree SJ, I have no real gradients were I set my track up so for my Mamod just choose a speed I want it to run at and leave it.
