2-6-0+0-6-2

In the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives by wheel arrangement, a 2-6-0+0-6-2 is a Garratt articulated locomotive using a pair of 2-6-0 power units back to back, with the boiler and cab suspended between them. The 2-6-0 arrangement has a single pair of leading wheels in a leading truck followed by six driving wheels (three pairs) rigidly mounted in the locomotive's frame. Since the 2-6-0 type was often called the "Mogul" type, the corresponding Garratt was sometimes known as a "double Mogul".

Other equivalent classifications are:

UIC classification: 1C+C1 (also known as German classification and Italian classification)

French classification: 130+031

Turkish classification: 34+34

Swiss classification: 3/4+3/4

This was the second Garratt type to appear after the 0-4-0+0-4-0, and was first used on the fourth through ninth Garratts constructed; these were a group of six locomotives of RailGauge|3ft6in gauge constructed for the Western Australian Government Railways in 1911 as their Class M. [
