canadian pacific maroon and grey

I was wondering if there is a close match to cp's maroon and grey color scheme in hobby paints or what is normally used? Also can any one point me to a good book or site that would give some good advice on painting. I have some brass engines that I would like to paint and letter.

thanks

Brent

 

Back when I did these I think it was Pennsylvania Maroon for the red and I believe a Milwaukee Grey.






The business train is also Pennsy Maroon with the decals.

I used PolyScale colors for my work.

 

model flex :

Thanks for the info
