Hi all,

Does anyone know where I might find (other than at the NRM) some coach roof profiles drawings.. Ideally for Thompson and Gresley stock initially..

I've had an idea...

The Gresley roof profile is given in the first edition of Gresley's coaches by Michael Harris:

"The Doncaster roof was a true semi-ellipse with the axis - at the level of the bottom of the cantrail - 2 ft. 5.5 in. below the highest point of the roof curve. In the York product this last dimension was 3 ft. 5.5 in."
