yes, the C-Box will seize up as well!
Exactly - that's what is dragging down the Nr and the good engine, it's trying to drive a box of seized gears. I'd be wary of believing the simulation too much, if you really do get big chunks of metal breaking up and jamming the gears, things may well stop pretty quickly.
