Steampunk environment ideas and research

here are some research with pictures, videos and some of my own ideas of what I want to have my steampunk environment:

Why am I doing steampunk:

One of the main reasons I have decided to do steam punk environment as it is a mixture of old and new, and I have always had a fascination with steam has simply is. Yet, how it can power such interesting and intricate machines using my first-hand experience and inspiration from films and anime such as Steam Boy, Wolf Rain and Xam'd the lost memories and howl's moving Castle with links below to show you their style:

from all of these anime's I have watched. I've always enjoyed the steam punk technology with in these films, and wanted to make something of my own.

Below are some videos I have been watching in order to get an idea of how steam engines work and move and operate and their limitations in order for me to make the machines look like they would work in real life and interesting book that on kickstarter which is looking at Bio-punk ( Link Below )

here are some images I have collected from Google to give a rough idea of what I'm planning to do


 this is a steam engine. I found on Google, which has a piston movement, which I would like to copy in 3-D
 the image above, and the image below, or the water treatment plants near where I live. This is the kind of architecture. I would like to incorporate into my steam punk environment
 the image below is a side on view. The simple steam pump, which I'll use of inspiration in making my steam engines in 3-D
