Okay guys, I need your help.
I haven't worked on the train for a LOOOONG time, but I got the bug to make a little progress on it this weekend. I'm really wanting to utilize the switch I put in but never did anything with. I would like to have the train come off the wall and do a circle around the center of my office. This means I need to come up with some type of bracket to suspend the track.
The issue here is it cannot swing or move as it would cause the train to fall. I also don't want anything too obtrusive. No massive pipes or brackets. I also want it to somewhat match the somewhat industrial/stainless steel look that I'm going for. I need help coming up with ideas on how to suspend the track.
I thought about using threaded rod and some kind of screw-in plate. I thought about using cable or chain if I could keep it from swinging.
The trouble is, there just isn't anything made especially for this and I'm really having a hard time kit bashing something so I thought I'd pick your brains.
I want it to match this look so no wood or anything like that.
And this is what I want the track to do.
Whatever I come up with, I'll need to space the brackets one for every section of the track so that there's no pressure on the joints, OR I'll need to somehow make a curved support path to lay the track on. Then I could be a little more sparing with the supports. But I'd really rather have the exposed track if possible.
Any ideas?
