Great looking loco and great work! I still have an old brass loco that needs TLC in a similar way, is this one made by Samhongsa? Mine is, and appears very similar (parts of the tender, and some of the loco parts), although it's a 425 class Santa Fe loco. A long time ago I decided to clean it in preparation for painting, and I got this weird white spotty effect, tried to paint over it, but that was a disaster. I've since learned a lot more, and I will pick up the courage to strip this loco again, and then try again. I will also try to add a small DCC decoder to the loco then.
