Gary, why not just use a simple sign to denote magnet locations? I've used only a couple of the permanent uncoupling magnets on my layout, but they're very useful in the staging yard, especially for passenger cars with diaphragms.
I used a piece of dowel, painted yellow and with a black stripe added near the top. There are always lots of mysterious (to the neophyte) signs along the right-of-way, so such a sign wouldn't look out of place.
