PRR H-21 Hoppers

[NW Mailing List]

Yes, N&W and Virginian both leased Pennsy H-21's. I don't have the book on N&W coal cars currently available for reference but Bowser produced both N&W and Virginian models of the PRR H-21's initially in at least 12 numbers each (best I can remember).  I would assume the numbers were correct (Bowser usually researches things well). The cars were Pennsy coal car red (for lack of a better term.........and let's not start an argument over what shade of this color is correct!).  Dow's book on N&W coal cars would provide detailed information on those leased by the N&W...... unfortunately my copy is in a box in Georgia.

Here's a link to Bowser's web site that gives current model availability and pictures:

Subject: PRR H-21 Hoppers

I have heard that N&W leased H21 hoppers from PRR in the 1940's and 
1950's.     I have several questions:

1.    What was the paint color
2.    What were the car numbers?
3.    Did VGN also do the same?  If so, could you kindly advise re 1 
and 2 above?

Thank you!
