I have done this. My solution was to drill and countersink screws thru the edge of the melomine? that was used at every stud around the room. It was alot of work but made for a very clean install without any brackets. One thing that I did not consider is the noise that is generated from a running train above your head - at speed it can sound close to a jet passing over the house! If I were to do it again, I would attach a 2 x 2 around the perimeter of the room screwed at every stud and use 1/4 luan for both the top and bottom - cantilevered out the required depth. The luan would also be used for the required ribbing to create the strength that would be needed to support the train. Very similar to how a plane wing is constructed. This style of construction is rediculously strong while still being very light weight. It also offers a place to hide the wiring and SOUND DEADENING! Whichever way you ultimately decide to build, I would consider using foam for the roadbed with the track glued as opposed to nail. Do not underestimate the sound transmission as I did. Good Luck!
