Caboose walkway color?

 Roofwalks were not red during that period, although one photo in my "Color Guide" looks that way (p.99). They were either black or the same color as the roof. For simplicity, I would just paint them with the roof.

A few months ago, I asked about roof color and was told about the brown that appeared in the 50s.  Since I model 1957-62, all of my cabs will be brown and the couple CF’s I have will get a “sheet metal” covering.  I don’t remember responses discussing roofwalk and corner platform colors but, based on photos, I think they’d also be red.  Is this correct?  The Bower’s caboose book mentions the brown roof, red body and black hardware but not the roofwalk, or else I just missed this when reviewing various chapters.

Thanks, Jim, for the advice.  Bright red it will be.  I happened to have an old Floquil paint chart, if I can find it.  I will use it as my guide.

My father called it "fire engine red." In other words, "bright red." The old Floquil "signal red" was pretty close. Don't know what is currently available, since Floquil is gone, but you definitely want a bright red.

I sent this to the wrong side of the N&W list so I am reposting in on the modeling side.  I am ready to paint the N&W Class CF Caboose kit I purchased from the Commissary.  Can someone tell me what shade of red should I use?

Thanks for your help.
