Phase 4
When the production for SAJV was settled in Montreal, the firm of original designers from California, DPH, was dropped in favor of Montreal designers. Much of the computer graphics used in SAJV were actually done in-house at a computer lab set up as part of Ice Storm Studios, where SAJV was filmed. 
 
A model was made of the Aurora from the approved drawings, as shown in Figure 19 below.

The final model for the Aurora, as it appears in the actual series, is seen in Figures 20, 21, and 22, a far cry from the railroad car model.
