s discussed earlier, the "red" cab-roof was not a "color scheme", but a 
maintenance measure, intended to shield against the corrosive action of soot 
and cinders - it was a red lead relative, similar to an oxide red.  Some 
modelers' paint lines (particularly military models) have a color called "red 
lead".  That would not be bad.

Such materials were often shop-mixed, so some variation is not only allowable 
but prototypical . . .
