I have a book Engine Houses & Turntables on Canadian Railways 1850-1950.
A very quick look tonight gives 2 descriptions of paint on wood roundhouses.
NTR Moncton: All interior brickwork was painted with two coats of whitewash, and iron and sheet metal painted black. All woodworkhad one coat of primer and two of white lead and linseed oil. (p 77)
CPR North Bend, BC: All woodwork was to have two coats of anti-corrosive paint and linseed oil.
All the pictures in the book are B&W, so they don't help. Some of them definitely look light on the outside.

In model railroading, there are between six and two hundred ways of performing a given task.
Most modellers can get two of them to work.
