I put heavy duty metal shelving brackets at each stud around three walls in the train room. They are 15'' out from the wall and 15'' down the wall with 2 wood screws each directly into the studs and 2 screws each into the benchwork. The benchwork was built by a cabinet maker friend of mine that are basically 2 'L' shaped shelves 5 1/2 ft on the short end, meeting in the middle and 8 ft on the long ends. It is more than strong enough.
