PBC Pro batch 2 on sale Sunday 9th Aug 15:00 UK..

PBC Pro batch 2 on sale Sunday 9th August 15:00 UK time (GMT+1)

Why won’t there be enough to go around for a while?

  • There are many more people on the waiting list who want one than there is stock available.
  • Each PBC Pro is personally assembled and packed for the customer. For example, any custom options are fitted, and the required handles are included. This means every order is individually finished and packed once it has been placed. As a result, I can’t simply have a large number of pre-packaged PBC Pros ready to ship like many other products on the market.
  • Due to the high cost of holding stock, only a limited number can be produced in each batch. The components used are premium quality and have been chosen for performance and reliability rather than simply cost, making each unit expensive to manufacture.

Why don’t you do pre-orders? There wouldn’t be any real benefit. Pre-orders would still have to be limited to a certain quantity, so the same issue would occur. In addition, unexpected delays could lead to disappointed customers.

When is the next batch? The next batch is due in September.

Can’t you make more? No. The PBC Pro isn’t a mass-produced factory product—it’s an individually hand-crafted unit.

When will there be enough stock on the website? As the PBC Pro is a new product, demand is currently very high. I expect stock levels to become more consistent and remain available on the website from early next year.

Please bear with me while new batches go on sale over the next few months. Eventually, the PBC Pro will be a permanent stock item, but that will take a little time. There are no plans to stop production of the PBC Pro. These products are much closer to a cottage industry product than a large-scale manufactured one.

When will my order be sent? Shipments start on Tuesday, 11th August. Most orders will be dispatched within two weeks, although larger orders and international shipments may take up to three weeks.

Euro PBC coming soon..

Announcing the Euro PBC – coming 2026
The Euro-Specific PBC is purpose-built for German and continental European train simulation, delivering an authentic driving experience tailored to European rail operations.

Built on the proven foundation of the PBC Pro, it retains popular features such as interchangeable notches and expansion ports, while introducing dedicated European-focused enhancements including integrated PZB controls and notch layouts designed specifically for European rolling stock.

Perfect for serious enthusiasts who want the flexibility of the PBC Pro platform with controls focused on European train driving. (You might want to wait for this rather than the PBC Pro if you are based in Europe).

Please get in touch if you would like to provide feedback for development.

The image shown is a concept design and final specifications may change during development.
