Either suggest using micro-trains or similars.

I’ve thought of going in for N track, Z couplers, though aiming for 1:100 meter gauge we’ve got in ?? Argentina.
cheers

I have had N scale in the past and while it makes the best of the space you have, I changed to HO (Marklin digital) for a better experience with shunting, uncoupling and generally operating trains (the eyes aren’t getting any younger either!)

I dont know whether magnetic couplers are an improvement on what was around 10 or more years ago

Ron’s trains and things on YouTube shows how he does it. Hope this helps.
