{{Loco info|title1=RSR Type C1'NST Class K2|weight=42.9t|tractive=41991|speed=24 mph|coal=1300|image1=ClassK2Main.png|cost=$33744 $27005 w/Trainworks|caption-image1=0-6-2ST (Saddle Tank Engine)}} The '''RSR''' '''Type C1'NST Class K2''', also known as the '''Class K2''' is the 0-6-2 saddle tank variant of the 0-6-0 [[Class K1]]. The locomotive was built by RSR and is designed for limited range uses such as shunting, yard work, and banking. Boasting a very high weight of 42.9 tons and a tractive effort of 41991, the Class K2 is an ideal shunting engine for very heavy loads or on steep grades and is a highly capable banking engine. However, due to its limited fuel capacity (unless given a tender) and below average top speed, it is less suitable as a long distance mainline engine than its tender engine counterpart. == Tips and Tricks: == * The K2 is perfect for banking (helping broken down/stalled locomotives) on steep grades. It is also a suitable short-medium distance heavy freight engine, though the [[Class H2]] may be more useful for longer trips due to its higher top speed and coal capacity than the K2. == Trivia == * It is the first engine to have a nameplate on the side. * It is the first and only three-cylinder engine in the game. * When it is viewed in the shop, it has its own unique purple color. * It is one of the largest locomotives in the game, being longer than the [[Class H2]] and slightly shorter than the [[Class H]]. * Weighing in at 42.9 tons, the Class K2 is the heaviest locomotive class in the game. * The Class K2's center pair of driving wheels are blind, lacking wheel flanges and guide spheres to allow the engine to take sharper turns without derailing. == Gallery == <gallery> File:class_k2_greg.png File:class_k2_front.png File:class_k2_side2.png File:class_k2_back.png File:class_k2_side.png </gallery> <small>''Have a screenshot of this engine that you'd like to show off on the wiki?
