Dual Shelf Ceiling Layout Construction

Hi everyone.  I'd like to showcase a method of building a dual shelf layout that me a few buddies built over a 3-day weekend.  The layout has a lower and upper track so that the viewer can see the back track easier since its elevated higher than the inner track. The layout was built in segments that pieced together like a puzzle.  It was kind of like building, staining, and hanging a bunch of kitchen cabinets all around a room.  It was a lot of work, and having four people (one of them a master carpenter) was key do getting it built so quickly.  I used traditional Lionel O-gauge track (upper diameter curves are 42", lower track uses 31").  I also used Woodland Scenics foam track bed for sound deadening.
