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. <br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
== Tips and Tricks: ==<br />
* 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.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* It is the first engine to have a nameplate on the side.<br />
* It is the first and only three-cylinder engine in the game.<br />
* When it is viewed in the shop, it has its own unique purple color.<br />
* It is one of the largest locomotives in the game, being longer than the [[Class H2]] and slightly shorter than the [[Class H]].<br />
* Weighing in at 42.9 tons, the Class K2 is the heaviest locomotive class in the game.<br />
* 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.<br />
