Another problem can be steel axles on the cars. The trailing car gets pulled onto the magnet and catches up with the car ahead and the couplers open. That is why they make electromagnets. You could try adding the drag to your cabooses. Kadee used to sell springs to add to N gauge cars.
Also: watch out where you put magnets in sidings. If you put one a whole number of cars from the bumper, you will never get them coupled.
