On this page we will list all of the Wall Mount Rail Bracket products we offer as part of our main product line.
 
The basic train wall bracket is 6" deep, 4" high, and 2.6" wide with flat ends.. Each bracket has one mount hole at the top of the bracket to attach via a dry-wall screw to the studs of the wall. The bracket can be modified several ways to enhance the Train view. You have many anodize colors you can choose from. You can have the upper rail milled down. You can have Tunnels that let you mount smaller trains through the rail web.
 
Special brackets 11" to 15" deep, 4" high, and 2.6" wide can be used if you need further standoff from your walls or can be used to support the center of the curved track at the wall corners.
 
One Wall Mount Track Kit contains 5 each of the 6" Rails per wall, or 20 Rails, and 4 each of the 11" to 15" curved track center corner supports. You msut specify your curved track diameter to obtain the best fit long Rails.
 
Please check in often because we will frequently update the product pages with new items.

Blue Anodized 6" Wall Rail Holders
20holders.jpg
This example has the single tunnel, rounded end.

The example Blue Anodized wall mounts pictured above can make up a single room G scale train Wall Mount Rail Kit depending on your room size. This number is based on using 16" wall stud centers. A 10'x10' room needs one 6" per stud, and one 11" to 15" Rail per corner. The price for 16 short and 4 long holders with any Anodized Color choice and single tunnel would be $ 302 plus CA tax of $ 22 and UPS or FEDX shipping costs to your zip code.
 
If you wish to order the G scale plastic rail supports, they are extra. The strait plastic rail supports come in 16" and 32" or 48" spans. They attach to the top of the Wall Mount Rails with a single screew. Four foot G track is fairly stiff if you use the rail mounts on 16" centers. If you use 32" or wider spacing for the rail mounts then you may need the extra plastic supsports for under the G scale track. The cost for 12 of the 48" long G track supports would be $ 240 plus CA tax of $17 and added shipping costs.
 
Finally you may wish to purchse the Curved G track plastic corner supports for each standard room corner. If you have to span a corner with a window or door you may have to build your own wood support or modify the curved plastic support.  The cost for 4 each of the 90 degree corner G track plastic supports where the G track is the 5 foot diameter ( 30" radius curve) will be $5 per linear foot  plus CA tax and added shipping cost. See the chart below on the plastic curves pieces.

To order train wall brackets in the different scheems.  A standard room with a 13' to 15' foot wall length will have 10 studs on 16" centers. You will need approximately 8 Rail Units for each wall with no door. To span a door you will need to make a bridge or use the 48" plastic rail to rail support. To span the curved track around a corner with no windows, you will need one 11" to 15" long Rail Mount to reach out from one of the walls and support the center of the curve.
