Wooden roof truss

[sed6]

I could not find any threads here, nor pics on Google, of wooden roof trusses so I came up with this design. Many homes have exposed roof trusses, along with commercial and industrial buildings.  These particular trusses go in my train engine shed used to service train engines. Although they are not needed for strength they do add a nice architectural design element to the building. Feel free to copy or comment, hope you like!

That's a good idea, I'll give it a try to see how it looks. Thanks!

I really like the shaping of that! 

Because I'm always looking to learn: In those central diagonal beams, how do you get the inverted 11477 parts to remain in place?

Thanks!  Used 11477 on the top and for the underside they are actually 24201 Slope, Curve 2x1 Inverted
