Greg,
There is a cylinder power by air located on the bottom sides of the smokeboxes of these locomotives that will lift and lower the Pilot Truck Flange. You had to remember to lift the flange when driving over a switch.
I think most of the K-Series locomotive ended up with these Pilot Truck Flanges.
The lifting Cylinder is pretty easy to spot - I'll look for a photo on the web somewhere and post it
