The six members of the class were ordered by the Kenya-Uganda Railway (KUR) immediately after World War II, and were a slightly modified version of the KUR's existing EC5 class.{{sfn|Ramaer|1974|p=66}} By the time the new locomotives were built and entered service, the KUR had been succeeded by the East African Railways (EAR), which designated them for a very short time as its EC6 class, but then, as part of a comprehensive reclassification of all of its locomotives, redesignated them as its 56 class.{{sfn|Ramaer|1974|p=66}} Class listThe builder's and fleet numbers of each member of the class were as follows:{{sfn|Durrant|1981|pp=189}}
