The tender is a separate rail vehicle, so it needs its own inputmapper, unless the water and oil lids can be scripted to the locomotive inputmapper?
The tender is already scripted to the locomotive because of its animated brake gear.
Upon perusing the .bin files, the .out script files, I found there are references to both oil and water lids in engine and tender scripts, but they seem not to linked to any key in the inputmapper, nor could I find a lever on the front of the tender to operate them. I suppose on the prototype, the fireman had to climb on the deck to lift the lids.
The water and oil lids are animated and open when taking water or fuel, well done!
But it seems most routes set in the modern era lack fuel and water points?
A suggestion for small improvement: water and steam effects at the injectors?
