RailSimulator has announced the release of a new add-on for its train sim RailWorks, now available for download.

Known as the Phorum Peninsula Charity DLC, the content was created back in February as part of a charity event where 24 hours were set aside by the developer to create a fictional, engaging route.

The add-on goes for $13.49, with all profits going to The Railway Children charity. 

From the description:

Phorum Peninsula is a fictional island located off the South Coast of England linked by a causeway and is notionally modelled on the island of Portland. The main features of the island include an American owned quarry, a thriving dock, the classic seaside town of St Bilton and many other tourist draws such as the lighthouse, causeway and fishing villages.

Project Platform was the name given to a charity event which took place in February 2010 where a 24 hour period was set aside to create a fictional yet engaging route which would be sold with all profits going to The Railway Children charity (www.railwaychildren.org.uk). Many assets were donated by the train simulation community and during the 24 hour period the majority of route building was completed.
