Fever Crumb series goes back to the beginnings of the Mortal Engines world (Fever Crumb, A Web of Air and Scrivener’s Moon)
"Then, if you have an appetite for more, you could go on to read the Fever Crumb trilogy, (Fever Crumb, A Web of Air and Scrivener’s Moon) which goes back to the very beginnings of the Mortal Engines world. It’s a different setting in many ways – there are, for instance, no airships and no mobile cities. I think the books have a slightly different tone, too – the heroes of the Mortal Engines quartet are always zooming across continents and oceans, but Fever Crumb’s adventures all take place in London or in the island city of Mayda, until Scrivener’s Moon, when Municipal Darwinism finally begins to take off and there is a certain amount of charging about on ramshackle motorised fortresses."--Philip Reeve
Railhead; Black Light Express; Station Zero (Rail Head Trilogy) are all set in a completely different future world
