I wanted to run my trains so this was the best solution first I scratch built a trestle.

Next was to suspend the trestle and the entire RR with my trusty assistant (ladder& clamps)

Only a small portion of my layout is solidly secured all the rest is suspended 7'-1/2' above the floor from my vaulted ceiling w/150lb test fishing line suprisingly there is no swaying or movement as the train Rolls @ a good clip.

Nice work!

Is there a bridge amongst those interesting photos on the walls?

I'm glad to know that the RR doesn't detract and overpower!!!! 
The RR should have gone up first before the walls were spoken for. I was going to do a shelf around the walls but changed my mind about removing the photos to make room that is why it got hung in the center instead.It's Always a compromise.
