Some members have written some great user guides aimed at the new RailPro user that go through things like installing and setting up RailPro software, how to download files, and how to update RailPro products in an easy to understand illustrated format.

The bug list (joining RPUG required)

We try to maintain a list of bugs and any workarounds in RailPro for the benefit of the RPUG community. A problem you may be having could be a known bug so don't forget to check the bug list as well if you are having a problem.

Members can contribute files to the community, generally for creating custom sounds and pictures.
