I've checked out Mamod's website, and they offer O gauge, _not_ G gauge. 
That's 32mm gauge, not 45mm gauge. Regardless, it's non-standard. It 
seems rather expensive to me, at 33.80GBP for eight pieces. AFAIK, there 
are no North American sources.

I suppose there might be a problem running live steam engines on 
standard O gauge track (plastic ties, nickel silver rail), but if there 
isn't, I would personally bite the bullet and convert to another brand 
of O gauge track. It's about half the price. Atlas track:

Gargraves track:

But if using standard O gauge track is a hazard, then I'm afraid you are 
stuck with im****ting Mamod's track from the UK.
