Thanks for the replies guys, I found what i was after. It was Shaun who I was thinking about... 
Well, Im pretty sure I was able to gather a list of what i will need to build the layout as far as hardware (double standards and brackets) goes.
Here is a drawling of my room with everything layed out. The N scale layout is shown in the dotted light green....
Now if im doing everything right, I should need the following:
Double Standards:
16-1/2":
(2) for 6' wall (bottom for layout, top for photo diorama brackets)
(3) for 10' wall (behind tv)
28":
(5) for 10' wall (top for layout, bottom for shelf)
(4) for 12' wall (top for layout, bottom for shelf)
(3) for left wall (top for layout, bottom for shelf)
78":
(2) for Desktop/Printer Area (floor up to photo diorama Brackets)
Brackets:
24"
(8) for 10' wall
(5) for 6' wall
(4) for 12' wall
(3) for left wall
Total of 20 24" brackets
18-1/2":
(4) for 5' Photo Diorama
14-1/2":
(4) for Desktop/Printer Area (2 decks, printer on Upper Deck below layout)
The Desktop/Printer area will be on the 6' Wall next to the TV
Ill have shelving below the layout in several locations....
The window will have to be built like a box girder as no supports will be able to be anchored to the wall (obviously lol). Ill use 2x4's to make the box and tie it in with the supports on either side of the window, it should be plenty strong. I cannot do vertical supports in front of the window as it will interfere with my workbench and will make it un-usable.
Anyone see anything I might have done wrong? LOL
