Re: Model Steam Pressure Gauges
would like one of the 300 lb gauges. Any chance of a red line at 125 lb? Put me down for one either way, with fitting. Thanks, nabob @ncn.net (let me know how much and when you want it.)

also called "try cocks" as they are used to "try" the water level. Likely there are other terms used in different locations and railroads, industries etc.
