That makes two of us. I looked it up.That's exactly what I had in mind, just didn't know the coupler numbers.

My first thought was a long box Kadee #178. It can stick out further than the normal mounting method because of the mount hole at the very back.I just ordered a little Model Power steam switcher for my Inglenook layout.
