I want to set up an indoor streetcar line. Just a simple single track running along the wall with a reversing unit so it just goes from one end to the other, waits a while, then goes back. It will go around three walls and have two corners. I was thinking just some 3/4 x 4 boards on shelf brackets and mounting the track on that. It will be 7-8 feet high, so the roadbed won't be seen. My question is, should I run the board right against the wall, or have it an inch or so away from the wall? I was thinking of using six inch shelf brackets, then mounting the boards at the ends of the shelf brackets, giving them about an inch and a half from the wall. Then I would mount the track with the ends of the ties aligned to the outer edge of the boards.
Does that sound reasonable?
