Fred, depending on postage,it may well be an offer I can't refuse.What are the going prices for Loop & Hooks, Bachmann, and Aristo, Knuckle couplers ?
I might part with a few... if you guys can afford the shipping from Canada.

Dear SirI guess this would be an opportune time to introduce newer members to an article I wrote many years ago on modifying LGB couplings to magnetic operation.

The only option I can think of for your Shunting and Kids would be to have 2 sets of stock with differing Coupling Types. KD would then be the thing for your shunting puzzles, but that would of course involve lots of expence. But if you do like most of us have a surfeit of stock it may well be the answer.Dear Sir
Thank you very much for this brilliant article. I have taken the liberty to download it.
Without starting a new debate this is exactly what I have been looking for. At my indoor layout my grandchildren likes just to run longer trains arond and around meaning double hook as a security, but when alone I'm totally into shunting - both Ingelnooks and Timesavers and shuntingpuzzles from old MR magazines - and for that purpose double hooks is a bit annoying. And will not allow pushing "loose" cars.
Hopefully theese genius couplings are still available somewhere on the net.
Sincerely
Ole O.
