Re: Model Steam Pressure Gauges
I just updated the website www.modelgauge.com. the latest batch is now in stock. There's a few 300psig ones available too for those who are interested.
Re: Model Steam Pressure Gauges
the 300 psi is nice for hydro test days, no worries about going a bit over 200 psi....

Re: Model Steam Pressure Gauges
we got ours and tried it out last year on 5344. and it works phenomenally. we have gotten a lot of compliments from people on how it really dress's up the backhead nicely. and I am always spreading the good word to friends in the hobby of model gauge.

Re: Model Steam Pressure Gauges
Glad to see everyone likes their gauges. At this point I am sold out of all these smaller 200psi ones. Still have some of the larger scale ones. Next batch probably won't be until later on this year given how much work goes into these.
I have been thinking of offering these in kit format where the end user does all the work. Is anyone interested?

Re: Model Steam Pressure Gauges
Whatever you charge for completing the gauge us worth it..
Too many things going on to bother listing them.
Re: Model Steam Pressure Gauges
agree!! Love mine.
I think most would prefer to buy them finished.
Any plans to do the duplex gauges?

Re: Model Steam Pressure Gauges
I would be interested in a kit...depending. Like I don't want to assemble the bourdon tube!
Re: Model Steam Pressure Gauges
There is no need to assemble the bourdon tube. The gauge uses a commercially available gauge internals and then they remove the pointer to change the face plate and install a pointer. They then put the internal into a new case. The hardest part of the whole thing is making the puller to get the pointer off and getting the pointer on in the correct position. it not rocket science.
Re: Model Steam Pressure Gauges
Find a watch or clock repairer . . . an easy pull for them.
