Further my earlier post.
NDH 3 & 4 were recorded in "Locomotives of the Commonwealth
Railways" as never being used as Railcars but converted to
standard gauge ADH 3 & 4 "Gloucester" cars in 1957 three
years after they were delivered. No mention was made of at
least one of these running as a coach on the narrow gauge,
well before 1972 when the book was published.
