One of the guys in the modular club made an uncoupling tool for Sergents to uncouple passenger cars with diaphragms. He took an old hack saw blade and ground it down to @ 3/16-1/4 inch thick on the end and glued on a rare earth magnet. He can slide it in from the side to activate his uncouplers so that he doesn't need to go down from the top. You could build an open side building on the layout edge with the warehouse doors modeled open. To uncouple a car with Sergents, you would shift the car so that the coupler you wanted to uncouple would be in a doorway, and use a tool slid in from off the bench work to activate the Sergents.
