Digerness1-409 purports to be a
side view drawing of DSP&P chaircar #63, but is not. First, the windows are paired as on the Plan
73 Pullman cars (South Park,
Bonanza & San Juan),
which those on the car in the photo above certainly are not. And second, the
41'-9" length of the scale drawing doesn't reconcile with any C&S passenger car,
let alone coach #63. The drawing purports to be at a scale of 3/16' = 1' but appears to have been stretched
laterally to fill the page (or shrunk vertically).
