That's a cute idea. You did a great job on that T gauge.

I like it, I like it, that's my kind of thinking !! Great one Steve 😃😃😃😃⭐⭐❤❤

You're gonna kill it on train shows XD

This is really interesting. The fact that they can make running trains this small and still run is absolutely insane. I also find it awesome how something that tiny stays on your head when you are tilting it aswell. Great video!!

Thanks! Yeah, you can walk around no problem. Fast head movements can still be a problem so you can’t just look down really fast. Doing so slowly is fine but you can still “fling” them off if you try.

@@StevesTrains I built a T gauge hat layout 12 years ago and I also wore it to a model train exhibition. The train did fall of once or twice when I managed to tilt my head a little too much. If the train ran 'downhill' too fast, it could sometimes come off the track. Fortunately nobody stepped on the train and I was able to pick it off the floor and have it running again very quickly. I'd also worn the hat whilst driving a 5" gauge train hauling paying public. Perhaps even riskier, but with less head movement needed, the little T gauge train never came off its track.

Z-gauge Marklin has been around for for 30-40 years. I have been collecting it since forever and a day. N-gauge, more common here, is slightly larger,. Nothing new here.

The ideas are limitless when it comes to model railroading!

Some crazy ideas coming out of this channel for sure. What a fun little project and you sure hit it out of the park.

You are mad steve, but in a good way!

You know… I’ll bet someone who is really skilled at crochet could come up with a very cool landscape. You would need something rigid to hold the track, but the rest could be an actual hat, just with the colors and textures of rock and trees. It wouldn’t be photorealistic, of course, but it could be really fun.

You are such a good artist.

T scale layout in a hat. Good work my friend.

Really surprise by what i would call "low prices" of these trains. Far cheaper than other scales, and everything to make a real layout. Having a microscope is a plus 😂 All my hat for your show !!

You've got "trains on the brains". Very creative. Bravo!

This works way better than my model railroad shirt

Steve, yet again your creativity is super and I think you're right on with the scale look of those "trees". Fantastic. Just one critique - it is FOH-lee-edge, not FOIL-edge. Always entertaining to see what you come up with.

You have inspired me to get T gauge train. This was a fun project thanks for sharing. GOD BLESS 🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖

T scale layout in a hat. Cool. T scale, more small, Z scale.

Brilliant!!

Yes, so I actually picked that hat because it was the least favorite of my gardening hats because it was a bit too small. Perhaps I will eventually use a bigger hat and have a twice-around type layout or double track mainline or something. That would be fun.

You just need a haircut. I think it would have fit better if you removed a little more foam. Oh well. It looks great just the way it is.

how many times did the train derail in that opening shot? 😂😂😂

Hi, I was wondering if you can please give me advice on a project. I'm brand new into n scale and wanted to build a fun and cool layout without having to do a ton of drilling, wiring etc. Basically so far I have a kid craft 48x33 train table , and already have a train set the bachman super chief. But anyway unwanted to build a track in that size, have a tunnel pre made from woodland scenics as well as tons of packs of trees, shrubs, etc. But I wanted to make the thing light up at night. With street lights, led lights on the train , model store fronts etc. I bought a little box for plugging in led lights/wires , from woodland scenics. But basically I'm asking can I just hide all these wires underneath my base for the layout which is a peice of pegboard. And for the set up I had the pegboard on top the table and sheets for foam board, glued on top the pegboard. I'm not good with all these steps and wiring and using power tools etc. Just want a fairly simple set up without having a huge pile of wires and switches etc. Any suggestions?

Wiring can get messy in a hurry. The woodland Scenics just plug system it sounds like you have is probably the easiest way to go. Using pegboard as a base to make it easier to drop wires through is a pretty brilliant idea. Woodland Scenics makes all kinds of adapters/splitters/etc for their wiring system to allow you to link components together. I’ve used it a little bit and like the product. It is certainly more expensive that wiring everything yourself with spools of wire and individual LEDs and controls, but also much easier and faster. There isn’t really much way to avoid tons of wires, but it can help to add little labels on wires so you can keep things straight when figuring out what goes where once you have a lot of wires. Even just a piece of masking tape that you can write on and wrap around a wire can do the trick. That helps a lot of you have to replace a light eventually and need to know what wire goes to it. I don’t do lights on all my projects even though it looks so much nicer just because of the much bigger hassle involved with dealing with all the wires.
