With holidays in France over for another year, the drawings finished and materials ordered and delivered, I really had no excuse not to get on with the train shed roof. Construction doesn't exactly replicate the original but it will be very close in appearance (as the trusses will be visible through the rood glazing). The main members are in brass hollow tube and have been drilled to take the lengths of 0.5mm nickel silver rod which represent the bracing. The roof will be removable which is why one end of the trusses have been cut vertical to allow them to fit against the outside wall of the station building. How this all works will become clearer in further blogs as the work progresses.
I took advantage of the fifth consecutive days of blue skies here in Donegal to nip outside and take the pic below. Apologies to all you guys in mainland UK that are getting rained upon!
