Another quart in a pint pot!

Thanks Ed.  I am using the 'Kirby Coupling'.  That is the standard Bachmann coupling with a paper staple fixed to the dropper part of the hook.  I have refined it slightly by forming a small loop in the end of the staple to create a larger area to be attracted by the magnets, which are buried beneath the track sleepers.  I now solder the staples in place as I found superglue was not up to the job.

I only asked as you mentioned sighting problems when uncoupling. Understand what you mean now and perhaps a mirror would solve the problem.

Yes.  Originally, the fuel tanks were to be placed at the right hand end of the layout, against the backscene.  At some point I decided to move them to the front, but of course I had already fixed the uncoupling magnets in place, so uncoupling is now obscured by the fuel tanks.
Thanks for your interest Ed.
