	Would be interested in details on these cars  --  my notes do
not list any conversions to work cars for 3600s.    It lists All
as being burned for scrap in 1928 or earlier at Castle Shannon,
West Park (3601 and 3607,) and Homewood (3615.)    And 3615 was
the first to be scrapped on 1925.05.11 with 3619 the second on
1925.12.14.

Waiting for a bus is as thrilling as fishing,
    with the similar tantalisation that something,
        sometime, somehow, will turn up.
