It'll work, but just not be very visible, you'd be better off going with an O-scale setup, as then the trains would be more visual. <br /> <br />put wire shelving around the room, with a wood fasade that is 1-2" above the deck (shelf top). the 1-2" will serve as a derailment barrier so the train doesn't go over the edge, the wire shelving reduces the amount of dusting required, but allowing dust to fall through and not build up to much on the deck and tracks. corner sections will have to have their shelves build out (usally a diaganl section will do) to accomidate the curves. as for a good hight, use the top of the door frame as a guide point to start at, there's usually a good 12" above that to play with, so you can even add a bit of scenery behind the rack to enhance the layout. <br /> <br />Jay
