  Unfortunately I do not know of any paint that really matches the original color,

You may be able to get it in Weaver scale coat 2 spray bomb. If you can airbrush there are a few sources.

Lionel seemed to use the actual NYC colors on this model, perticularly the dark gray. Scale coat and other RR model specific paints may match exactly if you are lucky.

Big/old hobby shops can help you out.
