Paul,

EXCELLENT custom work! I really love these high-shelf round-the-room layouts. Thanks for sharing.

I don't think I want to go there. :eek: I had thought of doing that in the beginning, but decided against it.

For the wood for the shelf I used MDF, cut it 6" wide, and now wish I had made it 8", but too late now, I'm not about to re-do it, but it works. I just used 4" angle brackets. again, wish I had taken more time and made nice looking wood ones, but it works. If you go the angle brackets route, check each one to make sure they are a 90 deg. All the ones I bought were a little off and I had to bend them in with a square. For the track I used the cheap stuff, Lionel 0-27 I think. I used 54" for the curves. Didn't want to put a lot of money into tracks that you aren't going to see. Have fun, and let us know how it's going as you go along, and of course we want pics when you are done.

I think you should cut it out, it doesn't look good with it! It just looks like a railway with a bridge sitting on the tracks! Love the bridge itself though!
