Alternative Couplers?

[577]

I only have 4 magnet couplers (I cant buy more), and I want to make a second car to my train

 

Got any Ideas for an alternative coupler that looks good and still connects?

Check out the coupler design on this CRS monorail. You can jump to the 1:30 minute mark, or enjoy the whole video if you haven't seen it before.

If you can't buy more couplers, you could make a drawbar using a technic beam to join two cars together.

This. Simple and efficient.

instead of a technic beam, I used a small chain and I can attach it to the stud on the magnet couplers that I have
