I can guarantee it’s not cheaper

Depends on if you're in America, or a real first world country.

One won't be cheaper, the other has a high likelihood of being cheaper.

Also depends on your insurance. I pay $25 per visit, and even over a year when I went every week, I doubt it was more expensive than restoring a train lol.

And how much do you pay just to have that insurance? How much lower is your paycheck because your company provides insurance?

Yeah, restorations aren't cheap, and the bigger the parts get, the more expensive they get. And it's not like you can hit up ye olde fireboxes-r-us anymore.

steam equipment is definitely not cheaper than therapy, you get a cracked cylinder? Better hope you have literal tons of iron/steel sitting around, and or something/someone to pay for it, as well as someone to machine it, because none of that exists anymore.
