A 2-6-0+2-4-2, in the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives by wheel arrangement, is one with 2 leading wheels (two axles) followed by 6 coupled driving wheels (three axles) followed by no trailing wheels. At the other end it has with 2 leading wheels (one axle) followed by 4 driving wheels (two axles) followed by a final 2 trailing wheels (one axle). It is a custom steam locomotive as it only exists as a model or in games. It is a special Garratt locomotive. Number 5331 is an example of this wheel arrangement. as a model it hauled 13 coaches with a scale top speed of 147MPH however the track was not long enough for it to pull any more. It had not a lot of wheel slip when adding more cars. It is powerful. If you want/need. It is a 00 scale model and weighed in at 440 grams. Meaning that in real life it would weigh in at 157.6 tonnes.

A 2-10-10-2+2-10-10-2, in the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives by wheel arrangement, is one with 2 leading wheels (one axle) followed by two sets of 10 coupled driving wheels (ten axles) followed by 2 trailing wheels same on the opposing end. It is a custom steam locomotive as it only exists as a model or in games. It is a super Garratt locomotive. Number 10261 is an example of this wheel arrangement. It could pull 2,920 cars, however it could only do this travelling at 10 mph. It weighed in at 1007.4 tonnes!

A 4-6-2+2-2-4, in the Whyte Notation for the classification of steam locomotives by wheel arrangement, is one with 4 leading wheels (two axles) followed by set of 6 coupled driving wheels (three axles) followed by 2 trailing wheels on the opposing end it has 2 leading wheels (one axle) 2 driving wheels (one axle) and 4 trailing wheels (two axles). It is a custom steam locomotive as it only exists as a model or in games. It is a Garratt locomotive. Number 4595 is an example of this wheel arrangement. It could pull 184 cars, however it had tremendous wheel slip. it weighed 152 tonnes

A 2-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-2, in the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives by wheel arrangement, is one with 2 leading wheels (one axle) followed by ten sets of 10 coupled driving wheels (one hundred axles!) followed by 2 trailing wheels. It is a custom steam locomotive as it only exists as a model or in games. Number 20261 is an example of this wheel arrangement. It could pull 10,000 cars weighing in at 500,000 tonnes! However it could only do this travelling at 0.25 mph. It weighed in at 3049 tonnes! It's tender was 60m long itself. The total length of both the engine and the tender is 163m. The locomotive even had traction tires to help it get up hills.

Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives, a 2-6-6-2+2-6-6-2 is a locomotive with two leading wheels two sets of six driving wheels and two trailing wheels vice versa on the opposing end. Such a locomotive had to be an articulated super garratt type locomotive because of its length. South African Railways (SAR) proposed to make this and drew a blueprint for it. But as the triplex design before it failed with three sets of drivers this would be even worse as it had four. It would have taken the worse thing about one locomotive and increased the power of the problem. So unsurprisingly this locomotive never passed the blueprint stage of its life. Other equivalent classifications are:

UIC classification: 1CC1+1CC1 (also known as German and Italian classifications) French classification: 1331+1331 Turkish classification: 68+68 Swiss classification: 3/4+3/4-3/4+3/4 up to the early 1920s, later 12/16 External links[edit source] http://www.beyergarrattlocos.co.uk/garratt-mallet.html http://www.karenparker.net/PixelMagic/pm_varalegh.htm http://www.cumberlandmodelengineering.com/FutureSteam.html

A 2-4000-2, in the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives by wheel arrangement, is one with 2 leading wheels (one axle) followed by a single set of 4000 coupled driving wheels (2000 axles!) followed by 2 trailing wheels. It is a custom steam locomotive as it only exists as a model or in games. Number 30261 is an example of this wheel arrangement. It theoretically could pull 10,000,000 cars weighing in at 500,000,000 tonnes! However it could only do this travelling at 25 mph. It weighed in at 56560 tonnes! It's tender was 45 miles long itself. The total length of both the engine and the tender is 160 miles. The locomotive even had traction tires to help it get up hills. It produced 70580 KN of tractive effort! The only locomotive powerful enough to pull 61/2 half the Earth's diameter in length of its train...
