What if...

What if one of us came into a greatdeal of money ($1,000,000) and decided it was time we could build a NEW 3' steamer from the ground-up. The questions are:
1. Who could construct it like we wanted, with all the up-grades, brass, and nostalgia?
2. What would this be a copy of? (first thought was #9 of the C&C-SPNG or one of the Colorado 2-8-0s.)
3. Where could we establish it (loan it) so that we could occasionally go there, see that its safely stored in-doors, and allow us to participate in its activities and operation (assuming we don't desire to have a trailer to haul it around. We are living a high rise condo in Key West with no storage space.)
4. Would it be an oil or coal burner? Cost-availability of fuel.
5. What permits would we have to secure?
6. And what problems should we anticipate?
food for thought.
