Hi there, I am new to the model engineer site, but have joined because I have the unenviable task of emptying my late father's workshop who was a keen and skilful model engineer. He spent a lifetime building & running 5in gauge steam locos, in Pembrokeshire and lately in Oxfordshire.

I have come across a pristine Nemett 15cc engine which I believe he made. It has the hard copy book by Malcolm Stride and a full set of plans. Does anyone know if this might be resaleable even though it is made up?

Thank you in advance.

Hello Liz,

I'm sorry to hear of your loss.

If he was running locos I assume he was a member of a local club. They may be able to offer you some help.

Also, I suggest you take a look at the article http://www.model-engineer.co.uk/news/article/disposing-of-a-workshop it contains a lot of useful advice.

Thank you Neil. That is much appreciated.

I wonder if I am in the right forum to seek advice on what to do with the Nemett 15cc engine I have found.

Many thanks

Liz

That engine looks like a very nice piece of work. Have you considered just keeping it in the family for future generations to enjoy? It would not take up much space in the china cabinet. Sometimes we see queries from people seeking the fate of a model that was built by grandad and sold 50 years ago, but we rarely hear of anyone successfully tracking the model down.

Thanks John, that is indeed an option and smaller to accommodate than the steam locos my Dad built!!
