I think you missed the point. Originally the file as received has just
the DieselSpecialEffects section with the usual comment about the format
of the blocks which seems to be in every eng file. In that form it crashed.

I added the blocks

Exhaust1 (
           0.60 3.90914 -9.0
           0.2 0.3 0
           0.1
         )
         Exhaust2 (
          -0.60 3.90914 -9.0
           0.2 0.3 0
           0.1
         )

and everything worked fine.

If I comment out the blocks then it crashes.

Either way an empty DieselSpecialEffects section with just comments in
it and no blocks crashes.

Apparently this worked in MSTS (I have no MSTS to verify this on). I
assume people did this as a way to have a driving trailer that did not
emit exhaust.

In OR it looks like it has to have blocks in there.

I suppose I could try taking out the DieselSpecialEffectssection
completely. I haven't tried that.
