We prove local convergence of the $t$-PNG model with zero boundary to the stationary $t$-PNG model, confirming a recent conjecture of Drillick and Lin (2024). The stationary $t$-PNG model is the one with both left and bottom boundaries of Poisson nucleations with rate parameters $\frac{1}{λ(1-t)}$ and $λ$, respectively, for some $λ>0$. In the proof, we consider the trajectories of certain second class particles via a basic monotone coupling of three $t$-PNG processes, and adapt microscopic concavity ideas used in particle models (e.g., Balázs and Seppäläinen (2009)), as well as blocking measure bounds like in Ferrari, Kipnis and Saada (1991).
