Val, thank you for taking some of your valuable time to reply.
I like the white artist's crayon technique for letters fading
I agree, painting the couplers is a delicate operation.
I have an airbrush and using some very diluted roofbrown ( 1 part paint / 8 parts isopropyl alcohol ) avoids jamming the moving parts.
I complete weathering the couplers by drybrushing some roofbrown on places I'm sure it won't jam the coupler.
If you don't own an airbrush I think you still can go with a very diluted wash.
Jacques
