Any recommrndations on which Scalecoat CN red would best match the CN red on older Athearn "blue-box" engines.

In the past, I used CN Orange, from SMP Accupaint.  You may be able to get a similar color from Tru-Color Paints (SMP's successor).

Another choice would be Rapido's CN Red/Orange #11.

How about Scalecoat II # 2126 CN Red/Orange?

That is what I would use.
