I had overseen that the consist was already made available, sorry.
The fact that OR does not handle tender load animation for a consist like this one is due to the fact that the code checks whether such tender is directly connected to the steam engine; this isn't the case here (there is the "bissel" in between), so the tender won't load coal.
My correction of x.4154 corrects a real OR code bug (list index check incorrect), so it is necessary.
This correction led the code run further, but again due to such strange consist OR believed that this was a tender with an OR-type animation, and this led to a later crash. This is now avoided in x.4155 with an appropriate test.
So there are no crashes now (I hope) but the original problem remains, that is this loco isn't able to load coal and water.
I stop my operation here (removing crashes whas the most urgent thing) and leave to someone else (Peter?) to assess if OR should be able to load coal and water in such a consist and how to implement it. Probably one could test if there are only tender type trainsets between the real tender and the steam loco, and in this case the association between tender and steam loco could be considered valid.

Hello,
Crash has disappeared. But I cannot water and coal refilling with this engine.
Well, i'll have to study how we could solve this problem.
Thank you again for your attention.

Bye.

Good mornig,
To solve this problem has been easier than I thought. I've changed word "Tender" by "Freight" in file "bogie wag", to introduce lines "intake" in "bisel wag", and i can now refill water in tender.
Since crash doesn't exist, main problem has disappeared.

Thank you very much.
