Hi Scott,
Although I find this thread interesting, it is way above my head, so please bear with me :)
From the chart of empty car and load mass figures, it appears that the maximum permitted load is 94.5t-us.
Here's my, very silly, suggestion! Does the loco .eng file have the parameter MaxTenderCoalMass? If so, does its value (probably in lbs) equate to 94.5t-us?
OK! I'll get my coat now! Goodbye :)

Hi Ged,
BINGO - winner winner chicken dinner...
Nailed it - my humble friend.
I had some old values in the ENG file that needed to be cleaned up.
186t-us - - - we're good.
Thanks so much for everyone's time helping to solve this puzzle for me.
So - there's interplay between the ENG and WAG files for the dynamic freight animations to work.
In my ENG file - I now have:
MaxTenderCoalMass ( 21t-us )
MaxTenderWaterMass ( 96t-us )
In my WAG file - I now have:
ORTSFreightAnims
(
WagonEmptyWeight( 69t-us )
EmptyMaxBrakeForce ( 103kN )
EmptyMaxHandbrakeForce ( 50kN )
ORTSBearingType ( Roller )
EmptyORTSDavis_A ( 176.00lbf )
EmptyORTSDavis_B ( 1.0350lbf/mph )
EmptyORTSDavis_C ( 0.005000lbf/mph^2 )
EmptyCentreOfGravity_Y ( 1.4 )
FreightAnimContinuous
(
FreightWeightWhenFull( 117t-us )
FullMaxBrakeForce ( 279kN )
FullMaxHandbrakeForce ( 50kN )
ORTSBearingType ( Roller )
FullORTSDavis_A ( 351.50lbf )
FullORTSDavis_B ( 2.7901lbf/mph )
FullORTSDavis_C ( 0.005000lbf/mph^2 )
FullCentreOfGravity_Y ( 1.8 )
)
)
ORTSTenderWagonCoalMass ( 21t-us )
ORTSTenderWagonWaterMass ( 96t-us )
Do I need the coal and water mass defined in two locations?
Perhaps we need a note that these values will affect the dynamic freight animation calculations?
Thanks so much one and all.
Regards,
Scott
