I've got to agree with you on that score Trev.
Even in 1:160 N Gauge more and more stock (especially that produced in the East) is being turned out with couplers that refuse to mate up smoothly making shunting a bit of a pain.
The layout I am building at the moment does involve some shunting but generally it's operation is centred around the continuous running of fixed formation trains that are stored in a fiddle yard when not in use.
