lol , seriously woody would a 150 mm x100mm be ok its hardly taking any weight just the centre of a few trusses?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but trusses are self-supporting, so don't normally require a central support.

Otherwise, you need to post more details and the old guy from your neck of the woods can comment

yeah i know but the client wants to store quite of bit of stuff in his loft

Then you need to know how much stuff is going to be stored, so that you don't have a beam just good enough for the trusses

Not only that, picking a truss up if it's not at a node point may cause an issue.
