I have Mamod locos running on 45mm gauge. So far all i have is LGB stock aulthough i have a few nice wooden wagons to convert to 45mm.
If you want some nice wagons to go with a Mamod loco id recomend you look into the red tippers LGB do  My mamod will pull around around 8 of them. I only have 5 of the tippers but have other wagons of around the same weight and it will pull a train of about 8 if not more
I think the tippers cost about £25

yes I do have some LGB tippers but they will never run on the garden railway as in my mind they are just to big and expensive so I have replaced them with 4 packets of binnie skips which altogether only cost £25 on ebay from a guy with exactly the same first and last name as me  (have not got round to building them yet)
the only LGB stock I intend to use regulary are the coaches

yes but I would be careful if I where you because them kits are completely plastic and extremely light and may not ride well on your railway best to get 1 and try it first

Theres very little room to do that Im afraid  the best solution is to put some removable lead weights in them and cover them with slate or gravel

you also may want to replace the plastic wheels with something metal
just a little tip if anyone else on here has LGB tippers I recommend that you replace the big over sized plastic wheels with smaller bachmann big hauler wheels looks and rides much better

Yes I have and I can highly reccemmend something like there punch or lucy locomotives but I suggest that you get the 4 wheel drive chain kit to go with it good service the only time I have had trouble (and I dont mean to do any stirring or uset any body) is when a kit I had ordered had not arrived and when I phoned up I was given a gob full from his wife about how they werent open and how when they werent open how any calls to the shop where redirected to there house phone and that it was for emergencies only apart from that I have not had any real bad experience 
why does a model shop need an emergency number
help I.P. 1 of your locomotive kits is trying to kill my husband 
once againg not trying to upset any one

ive not had experience with the binnie tippers but i have got five of the slate wagons. they run very well and I find they dont need the extra weight but they do look just right with the Mamods
