Welcome Westley and very nicely done   Coming up with your own creative solution based on what you learn is really the way.

Thank you!  I'm not sure how much time I'll be able to spend on it, but I'm looking forward to the process.

Cheers!

I'm hoping to use a book shelf bracket of my own design to support the track.

I'm using all reclaimed redwood decking as my base material.  Cleaning it up and cutting it into 1/2in square timbers:

Then cutting those down to 6in lengths:

Starting to look like progress!

Hello!

I've started a project putting an elevated layout around my daughter's room.  I've looked at quite a few different versions for inspiration and settled on a version of my own inspired by some trestles a friend of mine has for his outdoor layout:

I sketched the dimensions of her room:

Then represented her room with a chalk outline to layout the track I purchased.

I just bought my first Bachmann set!  It is a 5th generation locomotive with the stock combine and observation cars styled like the one below.  I have been looking for a caboose that matches the coaches and the closest thing I can find by looking at pictures is the LGB model below.  Does anyone have a Bachmann coach and LGB caboose they can set end-to-end and take a couple pictures?  Or tell me how you think they look together?  Does Bachmann make a caboose like this that I haven't been able to find?

Thank you! 

I would love to reproduce this in my apartment.  How far apart did you place the supports, and what are their specs?  Looks Great!
