About This Content

Experience heavy-haul steam in style with the latest addition to the Train Simulator Classic New Zealand loco lineup, the striking Kb Class from NZTS Workshops is ready for work on the detailed Midland Line.

Traffic on the Midland Line was heavy and constant, its importance led to many trains, both passenger and freight, traversing the line each day. As things progressed, many of the original steam locomotives built for the line were no longer up to the task, struggling in double-headed formation to meet with increasing demand.

Enter the Kb Class, a heavy and powerful 4-8-4 configuration steam locomotive which, as soon as the Midland Line’s viaducts and infrastructure were strengthened to support bigger traction, transformed freight traffic on the line. The fleet of Kb Class locomotives, thanks to their innovative booster engine which helped trains over the toughest of terrain, ensured a reliable movement of freight, even running ahead of schedule.

In Train Simulator Classic, experience the Kb Class in their waning years before the advent of dieselisation, brave the elements and conquer the Midland Line in this imposing and powerful steam mountain workhorse.
