	Historical Accuracy: These models were designed to represent South Pacific Coast Railroad rolling stock prior to the transfer of the railroad to the Southern Pacific Railroad in July 1887. The designs are accurate so far as could be ascertained from: photographs; existing drawings; and measurements of Carter Bros. car parts that exist in the collection of the [http://www.spcrr.org Railroad Museum at Ardenwood]. Some specifications have been standardized in order to keep the design time to a minimum. This includes the passenger car width which was kept constant throughout the series. The passenger car interiors are based on preserved equipment, roof vents from photos, newspaper reports of inside details, and the January 1903 SP car roster documenting side or cross seats. The limits of the 3D printing process determined the level of detail.

	The cars do not meet NMRA standards for coupler height or car weight. The cars are designed to be lightweight with a stable 3-point suspension so that a train of 6 passenger cars can be pulled up a 22” radius curve on a 2.5% grade by a HOn3 4-4-0 locomotive with Bullfrog Snot on one pair of drivers. The cars are close coupled and designed to negotiate a minimum 15” track radius when using the recommended couplers.		The cars do not meet NMRA standards for coupler height or car weight.

	Historical Accuracy: These models were designed to represent South Pacific Coast Railroad rolling stock prior to the transfer of the railroad to the Southern Pacific Railroad in July 1887. The designs are accurate so far as could be ascertained from photographs, the few drawings that exist, and measurements of ~~North Pacific Coast Coach 34~~ parts that exist in the collection of the Railroad Museum at Ardenwood~~. The NPC Coach construction is similar to SPC Coaches/Combines 72-78~~. Some specifications have been standardized in order to keep the design time to a minimum.

	The printing plastic that is used creates highly detailed models. The plastic is '''fragile''' and must be handled with care. In addition, the models need to be '''kept from ultraviolet light''' until they are painted. This includes sunlight and florescent light. However, John has kept unpainted models on his layout lit by LED strip lighting for over five years without any significant harm.		The printing plastic that is used creates highly detailed models.

However, John has kept unpainted models on his layout lit by LED strip lighting for over five years without any significant harm.

	The parts require cleaning before the model is painted and assembled. First remove any visible wax left over from the printing process. Then clean out any of the holes for hand grabs, truss rods, end railing etc. using a 0.015" drill bit. John's preferred cleaning method is a heated ultrasonic cleaner large enough to hold a car body. Parts are cleaned in a ~~12/1~~ mixture of hot water and ''Dawn'' detergent for 15 to 20 minutes of ultrasonic agitation at 75°C (165°F). Repeat if necessary.
