Folks,

I am forwarding the question of a member of the Southeastern Model 
Railroaders Forum.  I responded that the N&W did not lease any H2a 
hoppers to the B&O, but possibly did lease H3 
hoppers.  Unfortunately, I don't have any further information on the 
H3 lease.  Dow mentions preliminary discussion on a lease of H3 
hoppers in the early 1940s, but states that it fell through.

I am sure someone on this list has a more complete answer to Derek's 
question than I gave him.  You can answer directly to him, or to this 
list and I will forward the information to him.  Please do post the 
answer to this list, though, as I am just as curious as Derek is now.  Thanks.
