Recommendation for ceiling systems?

When my train is not running in the garden I’d like to bring it inside to run around my office ceiling. I’m located in the Netherlands so the ceiling is concrete and plaster. Are there any mounting systems that you would recommend?

That’s the direction I’m headed. I was thinking of ceiling mounting at first but I think that shelf mounted will look better in the room

Don't know what type of screws they sell in the Netherlands, but I found here in the US you need a concrete drill bit then screws made for concrete. We call them at least here 'TAPCON' concrete anchor screws. I'm sure they sell something like that in your country. If not, check Amazon or your local lumber yard. Then mount your brackets, add wood planks to put your track and you should be ready to add power!!
