I recently found that this no longer works. For some reason OR now puts a massive 2500 kW default engine into this with huge fuel tanks to match:

There is some success in using this alternative:

Though it can not now display the manual gear changes, they can still be carried out.
How about trying:
Type ( Electric ) Comment (* OR does not support Driving Trailer *) MaxVelocity ( 70mph ) Comment (********** Gearbox *************) DieselEngineType ( mechanical ) GearBoxNumberOfGears( 4 )
Using Type ( Electric ) works reasonably well if the train has diesel electric propulsion:

(Just ignore all the stuff about pantographs, it works!)
There is a work around for diesel electtric traction.
Unfortunately this gives disappointing results for the unit with mechanical transmission, the engine revs up, but the gears do not engage and the unit does not move.

Using Type ( Electric ) also seems to be a good work around for steam power. OR hates me if I try to have a steam loco without a boiler, but the electric loco results in a perfectly functional push pull train:

Type ( Electric ) also still works perfectly well for electric trains. Thankfully that has not changed:

(Though you must remember to put your pantograph up - even if you are running on live rails!)
One day perhaps Type ( Trailer ) will finally be added to the code. Until then we will just have to put up with OR log error messages about the fact that our locomotive does not have any driving wheels.
Warning: Engine:ORTSNumberDriveAxles is less than 1, parts of the simulation may not function correctly in D:\OR\NewForestMiniRoute\trains\trainset\3h_darkgreen\3h_dtcol_darkgreen.eng:line 100
Information: Number of Locomotive Drive Axles set to default value of 4
Until then:
For Electric Driving Trailers - the work around is Type ( Electric )
For Steam Driving Trailers - the work around is Type ( Electric )
For Diesel Electric Driving Trailers - the work around is Type ( Electric )
For Diesel Mechanical Driving Trailers - use Type ( Diesel ) as previously but add some extras like
MaxPower ( 1kW )
MaxForce ( 1N )
MaxContinuousForce ( 1N )
MaxDieselLevel( 1L )
To avoid the installation of an enormous default diesel engine you did not ask for!
