Ceiling Suspended Train Help

Hello all,

I live in a modern condo building and my dreams of a basement size railroad empire will have to be out on hold for the time being. But if you can’t go out, go up right?

We have a mix use office that I’ve toyed with the idea of doing a suspended layout. The room is around 14’x16’ with 15’ ceilings. I favor  the idea of suspending the track from the ceiling at about 8’ off the ground. Therefore the track supports would be coming from the ceiling and not the walls. I was wondering if any other members had gone about this method? Just for reference, I want to accommodate a double loop of Atlas O track, 0-72 on the outer loop and 0-63 on the inner loop.

Here are a few references photos I’ve pulled for inspiration. This is how the grocery store Wegman’s does their ceiling mounted trains.13B72982-09D5-452E-A28A-75E954B96E1E0578605C-D3EF-489F-BF4F-1CF591880C0769A6209A-3B21-48BF-A081-F40293F38B0A
