Take a look at this tutorial: http://www.republicofcode.com/tutorials/ph...op/video_smoke/
As well as the gradient mask, use a soft edge brush to add to the mask - in this case around the smoke stack. Eliminate any hard edge.
I also added a slight motion blur to the loco - in line with the direction of travel and a slight radial blur to the driving wheels.

Hiya
the easiest way to add smoke is to use the clouds filter in quick mask mode to produce a mask (usually reduced in size) and then a soft brush on its own layer to paint the smoke in. This layer can then be softened with the opacity to get a see through effect. I have linked to a few of mine.
