I have seen them in both colours.
On one of mine that I restored I used septone "bright red" engine enamel and was pleased with how it came up.
Good luck with it

go to model shop they sell enamel paint in small tins and find the nearest green to the original green.
That what i normally do wilkison also sell enamel paint.
if you buying tins of paint i advice using an airbrush to spray it on it leave you with a much better finish
good luck with it mate

You can only really get car paint from Halfords, not traction engine paint
