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.

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?
