The pictures I have of NP wooden cabooses show a color like mineral brown for everything but the roof. The roof is black and appears to be black roof cement over canvas.
A color photo of a similar car is available at:
IIRC, Boxcar red, black roof. Depending on which version you are building, original or with modified ends (I think the mods occurred in
1947), the handrails on the side of the caboose only would be yellow, and based on pictures I have seen, I don't think that occurred until the mid 1950s. The Monad symbol is only on the modified end version. Here is a nice pic for an "O" scale auction showing the original scheme:PolyTech Forum website is not affiliated with any of the manufacturers or service providers discussed here.
