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.
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.
