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 1888 which was bought by the Victorian Railways afterwards and numbered 426. 
In 1889 Phoenix Foundry Ballarat and David Munroo & 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, another two where converted in 1906/07.
This model represents number 496 built by David Munro & Co painted to the all black livery introduced from 1920, this locomotive was the only David Munro & Co to have the 140 PSI Boiler during the mid to late 1920's. From 1923 EE 496 was renumbered to 371 and was allocated to North Melbourne Locomotive Depot. E 371 is currently preserved at Maldon on a Plinth for Static Display.
EE 371 was allocated to North Melbourne during the 1920's, between 1929 to 1932 EE's where re-classified to E Class.
