Hope this belongs here.... Going to put a 10' train shelf above my O gauge layout on a bare wall. On it will sit either a freight or passenger consist with engine. Probably only 6 or 7 cars. What do you consider to be the optimal height for such a display?
Kids can not access it regardless of how high it is placed, so that is NOT a consideration. Viewing distance would be 3 to 4 feet at one end to 8 to 10 feet at the far end. (side wall of layout)
The train table (layout) is about 39 inches off the floor. On the wall where the shelf would be there are NO tall buildings.
Your opinion appreciated. Pictures helpful!
