    Restoration - Acquired Items    
         These items were acquired to help with the restoration.  Some will be permanent substitutions for the original items due to the condition of the original item or for security reasons.    
    Newly Acquired Steam Pressue Gauge    
         This boiler steam pressure gauge was acquired off Ebay for $170.38.  The front bezel ring is copper and will be cleaned up prior to installation.  This will probably be used in the locomotive cab and the original restored and displayed in the museum that will be built.    
  905's Original & acquired steam pressure gauge 905's original steam pressure gauge close up of manufacturer's name, etc.  
       This was the gauge removed from the 905's cab during the asbestos abatement.  It's not in very good shape but restorable to a display status.  The lettered facing is metal and the writing is etched.  It can probably be saved.  It may not look like it, but the acquired replacement is the same size for the front bezel ring.  The original gauge has a bigger case in the back.
