Here are some photographs of my shelves. They are in a basement family room, where the ceiling is split with the bulkhead for the load bearing I beam and ducts. The trouble is, there are jogs on two adjacent walls. With 12" wide shelves, I can run 2 separate loops, with 2 trains running. I am fine with my engines that need only 042 and 40-foot boxcars, but I run in trouble with my 60-foot passenger cars. The overhang, just barely clips cars going the other way on the jogs. 042 inside loop, and 054 outside loop. I have shelf brackets underneath, screwed into studs on the 2 paneled walls, brackets from above on the bulkhead, and anchors in the joists coupled to all-thread on the brick wall. I never dressed it all up because no one really sees it but me and my wife.
