You certainly don't muck about, that's looking ace. I find it hard enough to answer everyone's posts, paint AND put PHOTOS of the painted stuff online!!!  :(

Very nice work indeed.  The camo pattern looks ace and very close to the reference photo. How did you paint the camo pattern?

How did you paint the camo pattern?

Simulated airbrush by blending green and ochre and layer it with increasing amount of green. The pattern is freehand brushing...

Chipping is made by painted on chocolate brown dots,
brakedust is just a simple leatherbrown wash
and the bogies are invisible, because the hull covers them almost completely. There is a gap of 2mm between the lower edge and the rails.

One of the best paint jobs I've seen in quite awhile. The nice thing about using HO scale frame and motors is that it corresponds to On30 or narrow gauge, which is quite common in Germany and Poland. Beautiful work!
If pro is the opposite of con, what is the opposite of progress ?
