JR,
The reason is cost/price. The Ruby was intended to be a "budget"
locomotive and an additional safety and gauge would add at 20% to the
price. Single safeties are common, and the gauge is the perfect
aftermarket item, and there are a lot of potential buyers who would be put
off by the extra 20% for what they might perceive as not being a
substantial additional value.
