I think the red should be the overall colour except for the cab roof (which should be black) and the very front of the boiler (the smoke box) which should be black.  

I think, too, the cab roof needs a more glossy finish (maybe it's just a first coat in the picture.)

No, the roof needs to be gloss black.

I think:

• roof in black

• boiler in black or boiler in red and first segment and the funnel (stack) in black (like the »Länderbahnfarben«) and golden rings (e.g. like THIS one [KLICK!])
