I also encountered this problem with the doors in the 3D cab. I really wanted to use that animation to control the mirrors that move in the real train in solidarity with the train doors.
I tried names like:
DOOR_A
DOOR_D
For each side of the cab, but it didn't work.
ORTS_LEFTDOOR:0:0
ORST_RIGTHDOOR:0:0
Used for the controls that, by means of the mouse or the keys, open and close the doors from the 3D cab, but not for the "doors" themselves.
What has worked is:
LEFTDOOR:0:0
RIGHTDOOR:0:0
The parts that are named in the 3D cab move in solidarity with the train doors. Now I have the animations of the mirrors to do other things!
Another mystery (for me) solved!
I hope that someday all these things will be available in the Manual, or even, in a Tutorial about 3D cabs. This would make the job easier for everyone...

Now that I am thinking about doors, it would be nice if OR would load the external SMS files in addition to the internal ones when the doors are open. Just a thought.
