My thanks to Richard Shell for his listing of manufacturers paint codes that apply to the N&W.   

 

Steve, I suspect that the metal flake in HO will be a problem for you, too.  But, I think you should try a coating of clear over your selection of Tuscan Red as part of your sampling process.   This may be sufficient to give the 'depth' that metal flake paint always has- cuz it's a base coat, under color-bearing coat, metal flake coat and a clear coat.  ( or at least three coats)

 

Recall that Jim Eudaly has published articles about the eye's perception on small scale and how that means HO is better painted in a color lighter than the actual used.  Otherwise the model appears too dark.  

 

Good Luck
