EA 3638 Bunk Car (A 998)

	Build: 18/12/1907 at Petone as a composite, First Class seating 14, Second Class seating 28.
	The Second Class seats were the usual longitudinal seats of the time. It was re-seated to 14 seats "First Class" and 20 seats "Second Class". The Second Class seats were the same as our car/vans. It was again re-seated on 10/12/1949 to an all Second Class Car.
	Its last work area was Wanganui, where it was written off on 16/06/1962 and transferred to a Works Carriage EA 3638 and rebuilt with a single mans cabin at each end and a tool store in the centre.
	At some stage, it made its way to the Waikato and was 'spotted' by Bo and myself in a line of written off wagons at Hopu Hopu. It was purchased by Bo in October 1976. It was to be his (and one 'visitors' accommodation) until the shanty was built.
	Bo donated the car to the club, and it is still partly used for accommodation today.
