That is a very loaded question.... Short answer, yes, there are plenty of people in CA that could write the check to fund it. But doing??? The original reports for the 4014 restoration was that there was supposed to be a private partner, who later backed out. At least that was a UP engine with a UP crew, restored by a UP shop. For a non UP engine??? youll have better luck finding water for the boiler in hell than you would have of that restoration being done. Could anyone else do it? I'm sure the answer is yes. All things are possible with enough $$$. But, even if that were to happen, you get back to the yellow empire that says no to non-UP equipment. So, sadly, what would the point be?
