Reply to "Train shelving - is this a good idea?"

We bought  a used house and the basement was drywalled. This was on a outside wall of poured concrete. Firring strips were put on the concrete and the drywall next. some of the firring strips started to pull away from the wall. Firring strips and drywall were never meant to support that kind of load. 2x4 stud might have done much better.
