I have an old Bachmann N&W J Class 4-8-4 number 611. The paint on the engine is looking a little shabby so I would like to touch it up, but I am unsure as to what color or even type of paint to use. I tried searching the forums but the results are a little cumbersome to wade through. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Shiny enamel black for the boiler, cab, cylinders, frame, tender, etc. The skirting should be a slightly mauvish red. Not fire-truck red, more like candy apple red.
Here is a photo of the BLI version under halogen lighting and set for that type of lighting in the colour correction in my P&S Canon Powershot:
