Lynn Johnston's (cartoon For Better or For Worse) husband Rod runs something called Riding Railkits, which seems to be out of business, but still has some links you might find useful.
The local Ottawa group is Ottawa Valley Live Steamers who operate at the Cumberland Museum. They aren't restricted to steam however - I have seen "rideable" diesel models that sound as if they have a lawnmower engine or other small gas engine in them. I can't get to their website right now, but there may be some info there.
Not thinking they are much cheaper... at least not from what I can recall of the Riding Railkits prices.
