    I got curious about this after reading it , Tried it in OpenRails and got the following

    Could be the model using a steam engine section to generate the smoke...not needed in OR, there is a smoke effects section that can be added to any caboose.wag file ( coded by Peter Newell ) ... so a separate VGN40.eng file is not needed.

    Code:
    Effects (
    		SpecialEffects (
    			WagonSmokeFX (
    			-0.80 4.3 -2.29
    			0 1 0
    			0.3 )
    			)
    		)
    Here's the page giving examples of the various Open Rails steam and smoke special effects ( steamer_ctn web site Coals to Newcastle )

    I looked again this morning . The wheels have no animation , might be why the brakes are locked.
    Open it in Shape viewer and click on animation, wheels don't move.
