After months using only diesel machines on my route, yesterday I put a steamer into service for testing the new 3D cabview. Now the refilling of water or coal doesn't work any more. With 'T' I get no reaction whatsoever, not the countdown of meters to the water source. As I didn't change anything pickup relevant in my route at least for a year, troubleshooting is difficult. Did OR somehow change in that respect or TSRE5? Has anybody the same problem?

I drive 80% with steam, so far with me it works fine on the routes I use.
And I have made no further adjustments in the Pick-Ups. (except the fill-rates)
Now I may not have the very last release, which one is used?

I tested X4152 today. I think there is no problem with pick-up for water and coal.
As an attachment the settings of my water column and coal loader, maybe it helps for comparison?

Thank you for your info. I've got nearly the same values but additionally tried exactly yours, didn't work either.
I've built 2 routes mostly with TSRE5 one I didn't work on or drive for about 18 months. Last time, about these 18 months ago, when I used this first route, all the pickups of coal and water worked without a problem. Now without any changes to route and locomotives none are functional. The second route is wip, so I could have changed something relevant. Problem is, I don't know, where to look for a mistake!

I have tested the refueling function in #4153 and can confirm that it seems to be working ok.
As part of your debug process you might choose to use a process of elimination, ie start with a working example, and then use substitution to find out which element is not working.
Use this test activity (and the relevant test route and stock) as your working example.
Give it a run and confirm that it works for you.
You can then try your stock in the activity, to confirm that your stock is correctly configured.
Similarly you can try your route with the above test stock.
This process might help you to identify where any potential problems might be.
