hello,

i am looking for a little help and advice please.

my father started machining and building a scale traction engine from scratch ,he got a 3rd way through before he got ill and had a heart attack 10 year ago,he is still alive bless him although somewhat brain damaged

now here is what i need help with ,he has a workshop containing milling machines ,welders.bench drills, a huge lathe an insane amount of tools and accessories for all the machines a 5ft pile of model engineer magazines(hence my post here) taps and dyes ….i think you get the picture what i am trying to get to here ,basically i think you could walk in his workshop and have every tool at hand to build and make almost anything

now the workshop has been stood for 10 year untouched and we dont know what to do with it ,it needs to go

we dont know how much any of the items are worth for resale and more importantly know how or where to sell them without getting ripped off

asking my father is useless as he cant remember what he had for lunch 24 hours earlier

so you can understand my predicament

dependent on the post replies and advice i can get of this thread i am able to post pictures of the items in his workshop via the forum of by private email

thank you for reading and excuse my bad grammar

thank you for such a quick reply 

i will start the process off then by looking for a local ME club

any help on where i look to find a local club

and again i apologize for my lack of knowledge on this subject

i can find out what the engine scale and model is as i saw the blueprints the other day

and i never actually thought about selling that ,thanks for the tip
