Ideas for mixing N&W tuscan red

[NW Modeling List]

I've had great results with this recipe:

N&W Maroon (1925-1950)
2 parts Caboose red gloss( A 'part' is a full shot glass)
2 parts Tuscan Red gloss
5 drops Chrome silver
5 drops Gold
5 drops Poop Brown
4 drops Cub Yellow
11 drops Medium Purple Gloss

Weathering:
Armor Sand thinned 3 to 1 with lacquer thinner and very lightly  
applied to the lower parts of the Passenger cars & Trucks for an  
almost invisible particle of paint representing the traction sand.   
Use 35-45 lbs of air pressure.

3/4 bottle small Testors Flat Black, adding in 15 drops of Armor Sand  
to more closely represent coal soot.  this is also applied at higher  
than normal air pressure to get a spatter effect from the thicker  
paints. Paint tops and ends of all the passenger cars.  More on  
baggage and mail/storage cars.

Subject: Ideas for mixing N&W tuscan red

Back a number of years ago there was an article in Railroad Model  
Craftsman
about modernizing a Rivarossi coach and the author mentioned that he  
used
two parts caboose red with one part tuscan red to make the tuscan red  
used
on the model.  I don't recall off hand what the type of paint was, but  
it
was reported (for the time) as being a common mix used to create the  
proper
shade by some N&W modelers.  Can anyone help me with this?
