Suspended train track

What are the proceedures to construct a suspended electrical train track from the ceiling and the wall? I would like the train track to go completely around a bedroom, above the entry door or to avoid the door swing.

Thank you,
Phyllis Lee

Not sure what this has to do with Decks and Porches, but that's OK. Here's my 2 cents worth.

The track is going to have to be laid on a shelf that you extend out from the wall, or it could be something that, at least in part, you suspend from the ceiling. There are plenty of shelf brackets to look at at a big box store, like HD or Lowes. Attachment isn't that difficult -- you have a stud every 16" or less.

Suspending it from the ceiling might allow you to use a bit more creativity -- I'm thinking in terms of a decorative chain of some sort, that will blend in with the railroad thing. Attachment isn't too tough -- you'll have a ceiling joist no more than every 24"
