The **EAR 12 class** was a [class](/source/Class_(locomotive)) of gauge [steam locomotives](/source/Steam_locomotive) built by [W. G. Bagnall](/source/W._G._Bagnall) in [Stafford](/source/Stafford), England, in 1950. The class had been ordered by the [Tanganyika Railway](/source/Tanganyika_Railway) (TR) as its SS class, and was a modified and updated version of the TR's existing [ST class](/source/KUR_ED1_class).[1]

By the time the two members of the class were built and entered service, the TR had been succeeded by the [East African Railways](/source/East_African_Railways) (EAR), which designated them as its 12 class, and put them to work in the [Tanganyika Territory](/source/Tanganyika_(territory)) (now part of Tanzania).[2]
