I've been searching on google to between steampunk, steam punk, and steam engines, to get ideas of what exactly steampunk looks like, and to try and figure out exactly how a steam engine works and where everything is.
I came across this one and it looks like it'll be a good one, good luck user added image

Looking good. Are you going to change the design up to be something of your own?
