hanging train set from ceiling

[Anonymous]

Hi, I am looking to hang a train set from the ceiling and I have seen special brackets that can be mounted to the ceiling rather than using crown molding or making something else out of wood. Anyone know where I can buy something like this?

Welcome gkoepke1,

How far from the ceiling do you want to hang the track?

I used 5 inch by 6 inch metal brackets from Home Depot, if not the right color you can paint them to hide them, with 4 inch by 1 inch pine wood for the track to fasten to.  Don't forget to use anchors if going into drywall or ceiling tiles as just a screw pulls right out.
