Congrats on the new airbrush, but if you're planning to make a model of that building, a roller might be quicker for painting something that size. 
EDIT: You must have been adding to your post when I made my entry, as there were no photos when I made my initial reply.
Am I correct in understanding that you thinned the Tamiya paint with lacquer thinner, but cleaned the airbrush with alcohol?
The last time I airbrushed Tamiya would have been over 20 years ago, and at that time, I used alcohol as a thinner, and lacquer thinner for cleaning the airbrush.
I still use lacquer thinner for cleaning the airbrush, regardless of what paint I'm using, as it cleans out all of them.
I'll have to give Tamiya a try with lacquer thinner, as your locomotive turned out very nicely.
