    3 Ka's have survived into preservation (Ka's 935, 942, 945). Currently only 942 is operational.

    Why did they change or (modify) the face of Ka942 they should of kept it original like as seen in this video

      When the Ka class was originally out shopped, they had a 'streamlining' shroud on the front to cover up the rather unsightly ACFI feedwater heater systems. They also happened to collect soot to when the class was converted to oil burning between 1947 and 1953, the streamlining was removed, along with the ACFI systems witch was replaced with an exhaust steam injector. Ian Welch, who owns most of Mainline Steam's locomotives, including Ka942, built a replica of the streamlining which was fitted to ka942 when it made it's return to steam in 1990, since then it was removed and refitted multiple times. It currently is 'wearing' the streamlining.
      On a personal note, I like the streamlining shroud, it gives her/it a distinctive look from just the circle boilers as you get with all other steam locomotives, other than the A4 obviously

      Currently 945 is having a long awaited overhaul, but there are a few times I remember from nz railscene of 945 having the shroud as well
