Free Multimedia Add-ons for RBP

Add more images and sound to Rail Baron® by downloading the free multimedia files below. After downloading, simply uncompress the .ZIP file into the directory/folder in which your copy of RBP.EXE is already installed, then restart the RBP program. The images and sound you get will vary based on the map on which you are playing. Most images are RR heralds/logos; not all the maps have sound effects. For proper operation, these multimedia files require that you already have a copy of the corresponding map (i.e. the xxx.RBP files for the map). Unless otherwise noted, version 1.5.1 or newer of RBP is required.
