The UR GD class, known later as the UR / KUR EB3 class, and later still as the EAR 24 class, was a class of 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in) gauge 4-8-0 steam locomotives built for the Uganda Railway (UR). It was a larger and modified version of the earlier, experimental, UR GC class.
The first batch of GD class engines entered service on the UR in 1923, and further batches entered service progressively, including after the UR was renamed the Kenya-Uganda Railway (KUR) in 1926.
