My route is nearly complete now so I am running more trains than I used to. Being a fan of the Deltic diesels I like a bit of "Clag" (smoke and steam) so I was wondering what is the best steam UK locomotive for producing volcanic amounts of smoke and steam ? I used to use the RENFE Confederacion even though it's not British but I have never been able to get it to work for years.

The locomotive that you mention: Locomotive RENFE 242F 2009 and that is downloaded from: http://www.trensim.com/lib/trainz/index.php?act=category&id=1
can be used on Tane and 2019 after fixing three bugs in the config.tex of three dependencies:

In theory you can make any locomotive a “clag monster” by editing the tags that control smoke in the config.txt.
Specifically these values.
smoke_shade
smoke_random
smoke_slowlife
smoke_fastlife
smoke_height
smoke_fastspeed
Specifically these values.
smoke_shade
smoke_random
smoke_slowlife
smoke_fastlife
smoke_height
smoke_fastspeed
Sadly Frank I have failed at the first hurdle. Downloaded the loco and when I click Edit config.tex nothing happens.

Sometimes the edit buttons break in CM. As a workaround you can either try using "edit in explorer" or simply "open for edit" and then manually navigate to the editing folder and then open the config that way.
Yes, there has been a thread about the problem with trying to edit.config.txt. It normally brings up Windows Notepad, but quite often nothing happens. In that case, I do as Slenderman mentioned, I use "Show in Explorer" and then edit config.txt with Notepad++, which has a much better find function for looking for kuid numbers and such.

1-Select the assett to repair in the content organizer
2-With the right button select OPEN and SHOW in EXPLORER
3-In the folder that will be shown, look for the config.tex file and open it with Windows Explorer

Just for reference what I had in mind was something like this clip at 0.28
