Hi,
Blender is a 3d Modeling and Animation program that is open source and free. So, you can make 3d Models for RailWorks without buying any program. It is tricky at first but it is worth it to learn. Blender uses Python for scripting, so you would need to get the correct versions.
You can get Blender
2.49 here-

2.6 here-
http://python.org/download/releases/2.6.6/Bigex- The currently only available Blender exporter here-
