Theoretically, how much would it cost to operate a narrow gauge railroad?

If you haven't guessed, I have a lot of fuck-around money. I've been thinking about possibly buying a locomotive and some other rolling stock and setting up a miniature railroad on my property. If I do a circle of the perimeter I would have about 10 miles of rail to lay. How much would initial purchases cost for track and everything else, and how much is maintenance going to cost me? Is fixing a small steam locomotive something a mechanic could figure out with enough time to tinker, or will I need to find somebody with experience on locomotives. Also, what's the smallest gauge should I look into? I want something big enough that I can actually sit inside of.
