Yes, you could use this design for N scale, you could add more sidings etc with a smaller scale and still keep it large, depending what size you are going to work on. You could put in more hills in N scale which I am limited in HO scale. I got this idea from a much larger size layout which was three time my size and I had to make some modifications due to the size for my garage. It gives more running distance instead of just going once around the layout.

I have a similar collection of British rolling stock & locos but in N gauge. I was looking at your configuration and base board size and what could be done with 1:148, lots of options!!

The Bachmann couplers you talk about are probally Mchenry style. Plastic and cheap. After bumping too many times they get worn and bend back and wont stay coupled. The only problem I found with kadee is you may lose a spring so have a few extra on hand. We also used intermountain wheels. Im not sure they make them for your cars but worth looking into. Next would be to get some tiny buckshot pellets from your local gun store. The smaller the better and then a scale to measure each car out. Get a kadee coupler height gauge as well.
