Caboose Red Color - Overland Models Brass Caboose - E-Bay Item - HO Scale - Inquiry

This looks too red to me.

Is it too red?

Actually, I did see some wood cabooses painted that bright red in the last days when the majority were steel and some of them were also being painted bright "caboose red."

Whatever the current painting instructions and supplies dictated at the shops, I presume.

However, this one has a wood cupola, with truss rods, and they were gone by 1960.
