Colour of rolling stock for armoured trains

[giles the zog]

For Saturday's big game I am running, I have finally got some of the rolling stock built, undercoated and am now about to wave a brush and paint on them. The scenario is based in 1918, so early on in the RCW, so none of the factions would have had time to do a fully integrated, and colour matched ensamble

• Armoured locomotive - Olive Green. Sources indicate Olive Green or Grey were used for armoured trains.
  Flat bed trucks x3 - basic wood colour with weathering. I may do the high sided one with olive green sides. And some slogans/  markings.
• Passenger car - not sure on this one, wood ? what colour were Russian passenger cars pre RCW ?

I also have the massive armoured train job all built, that will be olive green.

Suggestions please. 

Thanks,
Giles

Cheers.
I'd seen that but just wanted to check.
I guess the nearest to that is something like Foundry Spearshaft.
