Kb's had a rear or trailing truck steam booster and were most allocated to the Midland Line section up to the eastern side of the Otira Tunnel, where electric locos were used for the long uphill drag through the long tunnel. The boosters were for giving extra starting power. Otherwise the Ka and Kb classes were very similar.
