Hi there! I'm looking for suggestions for rolling stock for my LGB 20261; both freight and passenger options are open for me
 
Do you want what would be prototypical for the loco, or something that looks good?

I have the LGB/Aster live steam Frank S version and often run it with a longish string of LGB "train-set" coaches (red/white, blue/white) with the clerestory removed from the roof. Not prototypical but it does look good, and is a way putting cars which would otherwise not see much use.
 
Any of the open balcony DB coaches would do....
 
So N+FS is a pretty complex loco being built to 750mm gauge many of LGB offerings will be fine but not all. You need to keep away from HSB stock as this is from a Metre Gauge line, but as shown below having been in Austria for many years OBB Narrow Gauge Stock is fine as is Sachen stock DR though not truly prototypical if you read tge attached history.

Do you have a picture of them all together? Those are actually the exact cars I was looking at before I posted this!

Thank you, that's a really cool website
 
Welcome to the forum Zach. It doesn't really matter what you run with your loco, it's your railway and your hobby, so you can run whatever you want!

I appreciate it! I'm just looking for some ideas of what would look nice; mostly because there are so many options!

Nice is an interesting word to use, not to be confused with correct. Though as has been said, your railway rule 1 applies. You could even think of adding BR Bachmann Mark 1 coaches behind, but that would look very silly IMHO, but if you liked it……..

Luckily, these are toy trains running around my backyard garden, so there's nothing for me to worry about accuracy!

Absolutely, I agree 110%! But as I said, I'm just getting back into railroading and there is just SO much out there; so I'm open to recommendations!

Ok look at LGB 33200/03 34230, 38079, 46233 but OBB variant, 43620 or variants of them as a starter.
