Aster Schools questions

I have found myself wondering about adopting a Schools on a few occasions recently. They seem plentiful, reliable and on the more affordable end of the UK outline, 45mm, live steam spectrum.

I notice they don't normally sport a pressure gauge, which as a novice in the world of live steam seemed odd to me.l as I had believed keeping an eye on such things was useful. Was it to keep cost down? I notice the odd loco has one so I suppose they can be retrofitted if one really wants to.
 
Cannot comment with 100% knowledge but as the Schools was indeed at the budget end of Gauge 1 Live Steam I can imagine that no Pressure Gauge was fitted for cost reasons. As for fitting one it will depend on what the Cab looks like so a picture may enable one of us give a clue to the ease of fitting a PG.
