What rolling stock do you have?

A quick way of joining broken mamod track is a couple of loom bands round each of the sleeper ends to the next piece.

Nice and simple to build, pulls a fair bit for its size and can be detailed as much or a little as you want.
If at first you don't succeed, use a bigger hammer!

It's a good solid chassis - go for the (slightly) extra 2 axle drive option - it's certainly worth it! My one example does more work then the IP Engineering ones that I have, and has done so without complaint.
