Looking great. I have a 12' by 9 ' layout in my basement but I have always thought about a ceiling setup in my office (room is approximately 10' by 13' with 8' ceilings). What do you use with boarding around the ceiling? Custom made woodwork? I have been thinking of plexi-glass so I can see the trains better.  The scenery looks great.

Hey JohnF,

The boards are stair step boards.  It was used because it already had the bullnose cut thereby giving it a better appearance than plain shelving board.  The corners were cut from 1” plastic vinyl sheets.  The sheets came in 4x8.  I got two corners out of one sheet.  Only thing I had to use the router on was those corners.  The shelves and corners are hung as a floating shelf so you wouldn’t see and shelf supports.  It was dressed up with some crown molding and all is painted.  Plexiglass is good but how would you conceal all the wires if you had lights and buildings?
