I am currently designing some long four wheeled vehicles
(http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=847126 for example) and am
having problems with the coupling design. Because of the long overhangs the
couplings need to be mounted on an arm that can pivot to allow the coupling to
be more over the centre line of the track on curves. However this leads to to
problems when pushing the vehicles as the arm moves to one side and causes
problems at the ends of straights or on opposite curves.

Have you considered using this part?:
 2607 Magnet Holder 2 x 3
They are not expensive, and available on Brickshelf in large quantities.
