Chuffing Effect

In order to activate the chuffing effect of the exhaust from the chimney of a Steam Locomotive, the child object specifying the Particle Emitter to be used, should be named "Main Smoke Stack". The Train Simulator code will then recognise this and tie the emission of the emitter into the sound of the locomotive.
