During the mid 1880s the Victorian Railways was in need for a more powerful Suburban Locomotive and in 1887 Kitson and Co of Leeds Engineering England built a 2-4-2 Tank and exhibited at Melbourne in 1888 which was bought by the Victorian Railways afterwards and numbered 426.

In 1889 Phoenix Foundry Ballarat and David Munro & Co built a total of 70 engines and all entered service from 1889 to 1894, during 1893 the Phoenix Foundry thought of modifying the design into a 0-6-2 Tank for Suburban Goods and Shunting purpose, a total of 5 engines was built and classed 'EE'. In 1896 David Munroo & Co converted two E Class 2-4-2's into EE 0-6-2's which looked sligtly different to the original Phoenix design as they where built without shunter's steps and larger sand boxes. On Delivery from Phoenix Foundry they ran a test train to Geelong then going to Melbourne afterwards with all 5 engines allocated to North Melbourne Locomotive Depot.

This model represents numbers 353, 355 and 357 built by Phoenix Foundry Ballaarat painted to the all black livery reboilered and renumbered between 1923 to 1930.
