A total of 53 K class were constructed in batches between 1922-1923, and 1940-1946 at the Newport Workshops.

These were versatile and popular locomotives that could be seen running branchline services across the state, and no less than 21 of the class have survived into preservation, with a number of those still operational on tourist and heritage railways.
