Answer 1

I've got a steam engine. They require little blocks of fuel to heat up the water which produces the steam to power the engine, It trundles across the room making the wonderful steam engine sound and when static you can attach different miniature machines which run off the fly wheel.
There are lots of shops that sell them, most of which are run by people who know a lot about steam. You could go and ask in there for information. They may even help you to get it to work.
