MK Rail MK5000C Utah Railway [BASE]

Basically, the MK5000C was a locomotive model developed by MK Rail, Morrison-Knudsen's rail equipment division, with the intention of directly competing with EMD and GE via its high-horsepower locomotive program - because the program was terminated, though, only six complete units were made (three additional units were only partially complete, with MotivePower later scrapping them and one of their cabs ending up on a rebuilt ex-ATSF SD45B, turning it into an SD50M-3 that's currently operated as MPEX 5000) and, although tested by both Southern Pacific and Union Pacific, weren't purchased by either and were returned. In 2001, the Utah Railway purchased the six units from Wabtec, but only operated them for a year before the locomotives showed issues relating to the bearings on the engine (Caterpillar 3612) and main alternators (Kato) - as a result, the units were returned to Wabtec, fitted with replacement EMD-made components (EMD AR11 alternators, 645F3B engines, etc), and then returned to the Utah Railway, now as MK50-3s; in 2017, the units would be shipped to the Kyle Railroad, where they operated until 2024, when the railroad took delivery of four ex-KCS Dash 9s to replace the MK5000s, causing five of them to be sidelined as of May this year. This model aims to recreate, as accurately as possible, the MK5000C model as it looked before being rebuilt into an MK50-3, and has bell audio, horn audio, and particles (unfortunately, I couldn't get engine audio on this one, sorry) - if you wish to make liveries and/or edits off of this, you're free to do so, so long as you credit me and mark this as a Required Item.
