I may try laying Fastrack on it to test using it for O Gauge. Would need to find a matching curve. I think O and Standard Gauge would require a base on the hangers. Although, Gargraves flex could work if you put Electrical tape on the hangers for insulation. I did this in a few spots where the hanger was at an uninsulated track joint.

I checked, I don't have Fastrack that will fit the curves. I used R2 LGB track (15000) which is about 61.4" diameter (I think that is the outer rail). So, I would need O60 track, which I don't have. This would have only been a whimsical test, so I don't plan to go out and buy any. I'll enjoy what I have.
BTW, this setup cost me less than $100 in parts, including paint. It was a lot of time. I was cutting and assembling pieces for about three full days. I bought a 10" metal cutting disk for my compound miter saw to cut the steel rod and shelf brackets that I used. Price and availability for the parts was best at Menards.
When I cut the rod, it had a rough edge that made it difficult to thread nuts. I would get a nut threaded on one end and then run it down the rod to back off the other end. The nut would straighten the threads. I used my Dremel cut off wheel to take off any burs.
