Can you give us the list of locomotive numbers that got these B&LE tenders?

Thanks,

Jimmy,
 
Here's the history of these tenders.
 
In 1954-55, the N&W applied seventeen used 
tenders -- eight being from the C&O (actually had been used behind Pere 
Marquette 2-8-4s) and nine former B&LE tenders that had been used behind 
its 2-10-4s.
 
The eight former PM tenders were applied to the 
eight N&W Class K-1s. The nine B&LE types were applied to eight Class 
Y-3as and one Class K-1.  The photo you provided was of 2079 which happened 
to be the last B&LE tender applied in October or November 1954.  Its 
N&W road number was 220313.
 
All of the tenders remained assigned to the 
same engine until each locomotive was retired and subsequently 
scrapped.  All of these tenders were scrapped.
 
The N&W's purchased these seventeen 
tenders to convert 16 thousand tenders into A-tanks and this 
allowed the 16s to be replaced as locomotive tenders so that they could be 
converted.

Looking through the Y3a archives, I found this picture of a BLE 
  tender.

  is the history on these tenders?
