Galen, I'm going to use Ikea Ivar unfinished pine bookshelves to support my LAJ switching layout. The Ivar supports are available in 48 inch heights with adjustable shelves allowing you to lower the shelves to whatever level is convenient for clearance for wiring or other under layout "stuff." If you want to support your layout with the wall rather than the furniture, you could install a 1 x 4 furring strip along the wall at the layout height and screw the layout to the wall. Just let it sit on the shelf units by gravity and then run the screws into the furring strips. The furniture keeps the layout from sagging or putting too much load on the wall mounts, but the screws into the furring strips keep the layout located positively so it can't shift and fall off the shelves.
