I built this in sketchup, then finished it in Crafter and recently released it to the game.

To get a model from sketchup to Blender and then maybe to a program like 3D Crafter Pro you can look at my tutorial in the misk section here at RailworksAmerica.

Here is the one you might want to find.

Blender->Railworks needs a plugin: look up "Bigex", it's extremely good.
