Hello this is my first post and I was wondering if I could get some help... <br />My previous set-up was sectional tables but due to lack of space in our home I needed to relocate my entire railroad to a different room of the house. I would like to build a shelf type railroad following the walls in our spare bedroom. Here is the question.... How high should I build it from the floor and at what angle should I put support brackets. I am going to tie it into the existing wall studs with 1 x 4's and was thinking either 1 x 4's or 2 x 4's for support on the down angle. I want to have the entire thing high enough that I can have a bed underneath. I will be coming out from the wall 3'8" at the most. I hope this is enough info to give you a good idea of what I am trying to do. Thanks
