    I stumbled over this while look at Train Simulator consoles

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265863507320

    for a class 303 add on at £41.49 using steam key. They same item on Steam ( where I tend to do my purchasing Unless I want add on which I get from ATS or AP ) are reasonable priced. Just wonder if anyone can see how eBayers can justify the hugely hiked price which cannot help other who want to enjoy Rail Sims.

    I guess there is nothing Steam or Dovetail can do if people are doing this but it seem wrong to me. It may just be me but I would never buy software from Ebay as you have no guarantees of legit software licenses keys.

    Anyway back to finding a controller for me, they seem hard to come by in the uk ( either that or I am looking in the wrong place )

    Are you looking for a Raildriver controller?
    X-Keys sells them in the UK https://www.x-keys-uk.com/products/raildriver-desktop-train-cab-controller-uk

    I've had one for over ten years that works great, and has survived storage, several moves, dust, etc. Definitely a good purchase if that's what you're in the market for.

    EDIT: I just saw you replied as I was typing my response, sorry!

    Check https://alanthomsonsim.com/product-category/hardware/ for more custom, non-standardized controllers. I've only ever used the Raildriver and can't speak for these controllers.

    Thanks! I had to buy a new desk a while back to replace an old Wal Mart one that was literally rotting. I have one of the most patient fiances in the world that let's me decorate our bed room with 90's toys and trains that her 30-year-old husband to be is stupidly nostalgic for lol.

    Once we buy a house and move out of the apartment I'd like to get a bigger, curved monitor and move my collection to an actual display cabinet instead of collecting dust hanging from the wall.

    controller Powerbrake handle and accessories - Would strongly recommend the controllers from ATS (TS Controllers) but good luck if you can get hold of one!
