- The RailDriver Desktop Train Cab Controller from PI Engineering. A short video of the unboxing, setup and operation of the RailDriver Train Simulation control system. I set this up to run with Train Simulator 2020. This is a well made and heavy duty controller. I purchased from Walthers.com. They had the best price I could find online.

Dude, THANK YOU!!! It's funny because I was about to order this controller directly from P.I.'s website, and then something just told me to hop over to YT and check out some reviews first. That's when I came across this video. So once again, thank you for the suggestion! You just saved me like $20!
Thanks. My wife is a "shark" when it comes to low prices online. Glad we could help you save some $$$. More $$$ to spend on more train stuff.
Great video, you explained everything really well. Thank you!
You're very welcome!
Great video explains the rail simulator. I want one really bad, was going to order me one today, but I don't have a PC.
I've had all the Playstations from 4 on down, but I hardly game on them any more so I have not upgrade to a PS5. I find myself gaming more on my desktop (Mostly simulations and stuff off Steam.) To run TrainZ and Train Simulator (and others) at high rez you do need a high end computer and graphics card. I will soon have to upgrade my PC for better videos (4K). Thanks for watching.
I’m totally buying the same when I build my computer
I just got the Aug/Sept 2021 Wathers Flyer catalog. They are listing the Raildriver on sale for $179.98. That is a pretty good price.
Thank you for this video. I am waiting for my RailDriver to be delivered in a few days.
I am currently using Train Simulator 2020 64 bit (win10).
Do I have to install a soft that concerns TS2019 ??? There is no driver specifically for TS2020 on the manufacturer's website.
You download the driver for the simulator of your choice from the Raildriver website. I only use on TS2020 but it can be used with TANE or Trainz 2019.
Nice review!
Mister Sperk good morning, please do you know where i can find it in Brasil? thanks, hug.
Got mine for £45 from ebay :-) Do you know If there is a way to program the axis for other games? Would be a great input device
If I do the exchange rate to dollars that is a great price! I'm sure there is a way to program the inputs, but is above my pay grade. I like different controllers for different games anyways.
Does it works with Windows 10 System?
Does it work with Run8 simulator? I have run8 and want to get this.
yes, it works with Run8
do you know if it can be used on console? (Xbox)
pc only
does this give you the option to bail the brakes off?
Yes, Raildriver has it all. The independent brake lever you can move to the right, and that releases the air from the Cylinders.
Question do I have to glue the Strips onto the RailDriver Controller?
No. They give you some for TrainZ and and Train Simulator that are on card stock. You can also download as a PDF and print out. Just cut, snap off the cover, place in place and snap the cover back on. Holds very tight.
sheldon cooper would be in heaven
In LA there was a great train store, Allied Model Trains, but they closed in 2015. I'm sure Sheldon was bummed.
Do you know if the horn lever quills for certain locomotives that allow quilling?
I had to look up quilling - Whistle quill: This means the whistle pitch can be shifted or "quilled" to produce a very unique and realistic sounding whistle. I would say that this would be a software issue with your train sim program rather than a hardware issue with the RailDriver.
@@seemoretoys5944 Right. So for example, with the K5LA, if you pull the horn lever half way, only half of the horn blast would be produced (ideal if you're going by a town at night). Does the horn lever have any of this ability or no...?
@@radanju3 the horn switch is 3 position. Normal (off) is middle position. The horn blows if you click up or down. On mine, same horn. But it maybe possible that up would be full horn and down for quilled horn. Mine does not do that, but could if the software was written for it.
@@seemoretoys5944 damn that stinks
The only complaint i have is it not actual size. i've owned mine at least 6 years.
Is there a list of games this is compatible with?
raildriver.com/products/raildriver.php
is that the size of a pc keyboard?
It is a little smaller than my keyboard in with and length. It is heavy and stays in place very well.
what is the right lever used for?
It's for the independent brake system, which applies air brakes on the locomotive only. Independent brakes are not normally used during train operations, but are primarily used as a parking brake, sometimes in conjunction with the hand brake on the locomotive.
Cool! What are your pc specs! They look awesome and clear!
I have a 5 year old Cybertron with dual graphics cards. Was high middle end performance when I got it but won't run VR so I will upgrade maybe sometime next year.
@@seemoretoys5944 cool! Great! Thank you! 😀🚂👍
@@seemoretoys5944 do you still have your rail driver? Is it good?
@@Class43Harrison Yes and yes. The Raildriver makes driving and controlling trains mucho easier.
@@seemoretoys5944 thank You
How do u set it up ????
Plug it into a USB port. Click the software for the trainsim you will be playing. Fire up the trainsim software and go.
Is this the same one as advertised for TSW2&3
The Raildriver does work with TSW 2&3. Not sure about advertised for though.
@@seemoretoys5944 Thank you for getting back to me, much appreciated.
work with Train Sim World® 2020?
Yes, that is what I use it for.
thing's 300-400 bucks, way over my budget, great video though!
I've seen it for $170. It also goes for $200 on Amazon.
Keiretsu nevermind, might buy for TRS19
Ya can u run this with xbox
pc only
