I can't personally help you with this, but I have seen numerous website which offer tutorials and blueprints for making rail guns as well as YouBoob videos of people firing them.
Also pay a lot of attention to safety. Most designs rely on capacitor which can be quite dangerous. Better to have a low power rail gun than you've optimized through some objective testing then something slapped together or getting hurt.
Did someone mention Youtube? (Instructions below) Many youtube videos you can get a quick sample by holding your curser on the video you are interested in before selecting one.

Woah, hold up do you mean a Proper Railgun or just a little, mini proof of concept experiment?
Wasnt there a guy who made a nuclear reactor in his basement to try to get into MIT (and he wasnt accepted), Michion Kaku made a particle accelerator in his mums garage in his teens, and I like to formulate next genration weapons, so you never really know these days.
This seems like a cool project, BUT GET APPROVAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Video below claims to show the worlds smallest rail gun.
