I'm going to be completely honest here Lewis, and I really hope I don't upset you or Sean, but I don't think that you should go about importing these models into Railworks.Β The models are bland.
Let me phrase that better and elaborate upon it. The Thomas series models were rather bland in the sense that they were lacking details like rivets, pipes, gears and such. They got it right at certain times in the series, like with Oliver's model and some CGI models, but otherwise they were INCREDIBLY bland as compared to their real-life counterparts.
Your recreations in Trainz are spot on, but the way I see it, Railworks dedicates itself to a much higher level of detail than Trainz because of its more powerful gaming engine. If anything, if you were to continue with this experiment, I would suggest probably doing it with the RWS models instead of TVS. But this is entirely up to you of course. I apologize if anything I said might have set you or Sean off, this is just my feelings on the matter.

We've already thought of this. Sean has upgraded the James mesh to be far more realistic yet still retain some of that TVS charm. Simply no one other than the Si3D staff has seen the model yet because frankly I can't be arsed with messing around importing it at the moment. But yeah basic thing is we do think of these things, by having a team of creative people we always spur each other on, and then the Skype chat often serves as our little feedback group where we get further suggestions, so normally all ideas get covered.

Even if they do, they have not expressed any intention of releasing any rail-works models at this time mate.Β

Wow! Much more suited to Failworks than it is to Trainz!

I must say, you've made James look rather decent.

I can see the fire picture, you've used in a texture slightly, Lew. Just saying, bud. Well done to you and Sean.

I'll be honest after all the work I've been putting into this, that's the last of my worries, and since it's simply an experiment between me and Sean I don't think it really matters anyway...

No, I know dude. I was just saying, I could see it from that angle. I was also applauding the joint effort...
