did you grow up in east germany? some of your designs have some kind of eastern bloc flair to them. 
i like them but i also would prefer more engine previews instead of lightwave renders.
Because of that I showed real-time previews in last 2 announcements. And if we announce a pack then I also show at least a few real-time images. I understand this and I am not afraid to show them. With shaders they can look like a rendered image.
Regarding the other question:
Yes. I grew up in eastern Germany. But the designs of the machines are common in western Germany as well. I like some old machinery from 80s. They are more functional. But I try to add some modern elements to transfer the ideas into the future.
Here is how a steam boiler looked in the past (sexy):

New machines are often covered and dont look very detailed:

(similiar but ugly though I could have made it with less polies)
