South African Railways colours

[forsyth.sandy@gmail.com]

I'm modelling South African Railways in the 1970's. At that stage, electric locomotives were painted gulf red. Its impossible to find Humbrol paints in South Africa. Does anybody know what colours or mixing ratios I can use for Tamiya paints?

Where are you in South Africa?  Humbrol paints are available from local model shops. 
 

If no one comes up with a recipe for Tamiya paints try: 
 

Hobbies and Models, Herbert Evans, The Aviation Shop or Esswex Hobbies in Johannesburg or Grand Prix Models in Boksburg who should be able to send them to you via Postnet.
