The pattern suburban E class tank loco was built by Kitson & Co of Leeds, England, in 1888 and was a typical British tank engine of the 2-4-2 wheel arrangement. The original loco, named "Tasmania" by the builder, was displayed in the Centennial International Exhibition in the Melbourne Exhibition Buildings in 1888. There were seventy-one engines in the class, numbered 426 (pattern engine), 346 to 394 (even numbers, Phoenix Foundry), 12, 34, 36, 428 to 460 (even numbers, Phoenix Foundry) and 472 to 520 (even numbers, David Munro).

  • The pattern suburban E class tank loco was built by Kitson & Co of Leeds, England, in 1888 and was a typical British tank engine of the 2-4-2 wheel arrangement. The original loco, named "Tasmania" by the builder, was displayed in the Centennial International Exhibition in the Melbourne Exhibition Buildings in 1888. There were seventy-one engines in the class, numbered 426 (pattern engine), 346 to 394 (even numbers, Phoenix Foundry), 12, 34, 36, 428 to 460 (even numbers, Phoenix Foundry) and 472 to 520 (even numbers, David Munro). Five additional engines were delivered from Phoenix as EE class 462, 464, 466, 468 and 470, with a new wheel arrangement of 0-6-2T explicitly for shunting use. Following their evaluation, engines 482 and 496 in 1898, followed by 490 and 478 in 1906-1907, were converted to the same format although the latter two used 170psi boilers and 18-inch cylinders in lieu of the earlier 140psi boilers and 17-inch cylinders. The pattern engine was withdrawn in 1915, and two further units in 1917. As Melbourne's suburban electrification project progressed the 2-4-2 tank engines were quickly rendered obsolete. In the period 1919-1923, 20 engines were converted to match the nine existing shunters' 0-6-2T configuration (all bar 494 upgraded to 18-inch cylinders), while a further 25 were withdrawn. Of the latter group, twenty were sold to the South Australian Railways to become their second M class. An additional 18 engines were withdrawn in 1924, leaving only a single 2-4-2T type in service. In the 1923 locomotive renumbering scheme the EE class engines were reclassified in the 350-379 group. By 1929 this had expanded to 390 and the group was reclassified E. The original E class 2-4-2T type engines were intended to take numbers 236-245 without a class letter, but as above only one engine survived long enough to have the new number applied; thus 506 became 236.
