You definitely have the space, our ceilings are just under 9'. Which makes me
aske how tall are you? I am about 5'10", the railway is about 7'8" and dust
doesn't collect on the bottom side of the shelf.
So to make my long answer short I will say that I have never dusted it in the
18 months it has been up. That said, I noticed a few cob webs rapping
themselves around the minifigs in the town when I put the new engine on the
tracks and just used a dry cloth to get what I could see.
We run the train almost daily, my son just loves it! so the train itself
doesn't collect to much dust. Sure there is some dust on the shelf but no one
I know is tall enough to see it so for us it is "out of sight, out of mind".
Now I am sure at some point I will have to hall a vaccum up there and give it a
good cleaning but I would say once a year would be more than sufficiant to get
whatever builds up.
Of course if you have alergy's and don't run the train often I would guess that
turning on a train could kick up some dust which might not be good.
Dust hasn't been a problem for us so far, so I say build your shelf railway,
you will love it. We love ours (that includes my wife). Plus how else can you
get 50'-60' of track perminantly set up in your house!!!
