If your maximum depth on the shelving is 24", Knape and Vogt make a 24" shelf bracket that, when mounted with the appropriate heavy duty brackets and proper screws to wall studs, can hold a 400lb load. More than enough for a model railroad. You wouldn't need any front supports then.
This is the same hardware I used.
