The starting point

The project archive contains layout drawings and renders showing an earlier complete-board concept. They capture the relationship between the deck, handles, internal packaging and outer shape.

Why preserve it?

A development record should retain the alternatives and earlier stages, not replace them every time a new model appears. These assets show a previous design direction. Their exact dates and relationship to physical prototypes are not yet confirmed.

From concept to evidence

The current website places these archive assets alongside the H0 engineering studies. The historical board renders and current hull are different records; they should not be read as a measured before-and-after performance comparison.

Next steps

Confirm the archive chronology and connect each design change to its rationale, supporting files and eventual test results. Original dates and captions can be added without removing earlier entries.

Archive material curated for the first site. No claim of physical testing.

Later corrections and follow-up studies will link back to this record.
