In Content Manager select the faulty loco and right click on it, then select "View Errors and Warnings" - you will get a window with details of the problem - post those details here.....

The first three you can probably edit out with no ill effects. I'm assuming you know how to edit the files. The two warnings will probably not cause a problem, although you can use PEV tools to change the progressive mesh.
The last one probably is a texture.text file that points to a texture file that is not there. Content makers sometimes forget to remove leftover files. You can probably delete the text file.

You notice I typed "probably" alot, but this should give you some help.

These are out of date lines in the asset's config.txt file - you can just delete them using Windows notepad.

The warnings are just warnings and could be ignored but to sort this out properly you will need to use a couple of PEVs tools to convert the progressive meshes and then create a shadow file and do a further config edit (which will get rid of the last error) - it's 3am here so too late (early!) for me to go into details. If you get stuck post again and I will try to assist.
