Checking in A E Durrants book "The Garratt Locomotive" the following info may help.
The loco was built by Beyer Peacock (as were most of the Garratts ever built) the KUR running number was 87 and the original EAR no was 5711, it carried the name Karamoja with works No 6974, it was a class EC3 on the KUR and a class 57 on the EAR not 58 as I said in an earlier post, she had a wheel configuration of 4-8-4+4-8-4 and was built in 1940. Weighing in at just over 186 tons in FWO she was a big loco ( not by american standards) and was oil fired.
