I am quite sure that a replica Niagara or Hudson could be built, just like the LNER Peppercorn Pacific. The "Tornado" cost 3 million British Pounds, or about 5 million US dollars, to build. Surely, a Niagara or Hudson could be had for six or seven million USD. Got the money? ;D

Well, let me check my stock portfolio.

Hmm... I might have to wait on that for a while...
