Best colour to start with would be "Fowler Showmans Red" but it may have had a few different shades throughout its life, depends when in it's life you are basing your model on. Inside the motion and manstand etc usually a brighter red such as "Traction Engine Vermilion" Both available from Precision Paints and what you see on teh engine in my avitar.
