Interrail suspended train system for G Scale 30'x10'

If you're ever in Northallerton town centre in North Yorkshire, Barker's department store has a loop of track running round just below ceiling height in a bay off their main restaurant. Backdrop and loco and rolling stock vary according to the season.


Note, it is the town centre store and not the edge of town furniture store.
 
This one ?


I think there is something similar at Wernigerode in the Harz. But I may be wrong. Max
Yep that's the one. The actual food wasn't anything to write home about, but reasonably priced. But then again we didn't go for the gourmet experience :rofl:
I, like most people tried to see how the trains were held on to the tracks, you can't lift them obviously, I'm pretty sure they must be attached to the 2 lengths of wire inside the track, but how it works I've no idea. Anyone know?

We also visited last year on my stag do. Best man did well with the planning. I posted to Instagram and got several hundred thousand views on the video! I was super curious about the dispatch software but couldn't find anyone with that level of interest to talk about it

Here is a video of that same restaurant narrated in English and showing much more of how it is operated:

New to the group here,
My names Dave I've got a 2 track setup I've had for 15 or so years. I bought it at a train show in San Jose. My girlfriend thought I was nuts when I bought it. But I'll tell you not to easy to mount as its very flexible due to all the joints. I ended up sandwiching the interail between 2 pieces of aluminum angle which took lots of thought but worked incredible. I didn't do the curves as it seems to work. I hand made all the hanging brackets to hang the front and rear dye to vaulted ceiling and a thick aluminum solid bar stock on sides along with new support tube. I absolutely love it.
I bought a second setup from a guy in Salinas 7 ears ago it's still in the attic along with tons of NOS LGB track.
I'd do it all over again as there's nothing quite like it. I've attached some pics. I mainly collect Disney Trains but they're getting out if reach and rare.

Thanks Dave
