I am aware 3 use Orange, so can it work the other way about? Or do 3 have the best scenario being able to use there own network, then Orange and now Tmo?

I think from I can gather from you post, no Orange aren't able to use Three's transmitters.

No as the current deal is that 3 roams on to Orange in some places only and for 2G only.

3 doesn't operate a 2G network and Orange cannot roam on to 3.

However 3, T-mobile and Orange are all pooling stuff soon as Orange will have access to 3 and T-mobile's masts, Orange will decommission around 7,000 masts of their own and leave 4,000, the rest of their coverage will come from T-mobile and 3.

3 have access to T-mobile masts and 3 masts, but they won't be able to roam to the 4,000 Orange masts as they are mainly for capacity.

Of course 3, and T-mobile they will continue to invest in the network that Orange will be joining.

And Three are now dropping 2G sourced from Orange in some areas

That's why I said some places in my post above.
