Andrew, that is a great idea. Didn't think of that.
The way I operated the magnets on the old layout was to stop the train with the couplers over the magnet before it is energized, then energize the magnet, then pull away from the car to be uncoupled. With that, the LED wouldn't help. But your idea definitely warrants some rethinking of the uncoupling procedure. Again, interesting idea!
