Cool. What is that contraption on the rear of the turret?
A quick steampunk tank I knocked up, inspired by Cortz#9's steampunk design.
Two new versions of steam rhomboid. Right rhomboid has enlarged engine and sponson below turret. Left rhomboid has another Hotchkiss gun in a sponson.
Thoughts?
For what it is worth I like the second one more. Plus you can share ammo between the guns and share repair parts.
For a close defense system could the steam be vented to the sides or top to repell boarders?
Interesting idea.
Found a Youtube video of a Tiger tank using a wood burning engine -
Thanks to Peebothuhlu, Zert, Remi, Smitty, Fickle and everyone else here for their suggestions, its been a great help.
Yes! That's the video! 
Here's a 'Kreiger' tankette... thingy...

My pleasure for what small part I could assist. Please keep creating and sharing your works and finds.
Added a steam CIWS, Gatling gun sponsons and enlarged the tank at the rear.
Looking cool. Nice additions to the tank.
Well if you want a steam tank, here's one from 1918:
It's was overweight, vulnerable, and had some major cooling issues, but it did actually work, sort of, though it did break down once while on parade. One more vehicle to add to the list of things that shouldn't be steam-powered. Still, it was more successful than another design on that list.
