Hi All

 

Does anyone have any decent photos of the truss work of ex London, Brighton and South Coast Railway overall rooves, the hipped variety in particular. I believe that part of the Brighton side at Victoria still exists and the concourse area of Bognor is still extant, any other location(s)? I have been asked if I could cut some trusses on my Cameo, but I am unsure how they were assembled and being down in Devon, I can't nip down the road and take some photos for my self.

 

Many thanks for any assistance.

Lewes might be worth a day trip - it's not an overall roof as such ( not across the tracks ) but a sizeable structure in the vee of the junction.

 

 

Thanks for that, I hadn't considered that Lewes had hipped rooves. Still the same problem for me though. A good excuse to kill two birds with one stone and sink a couple of pints of Harveys, but that will have too wait until I can get back to that end of the country.

Not sure if this will help but it's the only photo I can find showing any roof detail on the Central Side of Victoria, taken on 19th March 1988.

That's a start, I just need the hipped part now and I can make a start. It looks like this was when they started to dismatle the roof to put up the concrete carbuncle.

You'd better hurry up - I don't know how much longer they'll be serving the 'Old' this winter ..............
