In the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives by wheel arrangement, the is a Garratt articulated locomotive. The wheel arrangement is effectively two 4-6-0 locomotives operating back to back, with the boiler and cab suspended between the two power units. Each power unit has two pairs of leading wheels in a leading bogie, followed by three coupled pairs of driving wheels, with no trailing wheels. A similar wheel arrangement exists for Mallet type locomotives, but is referred to as . Other equivalent classifications are: * UIC classification: 2C+C2 (also known as German and Italian classifications) * French classification: 230+032 * Turkish classification: 35+35 * Swiss classification: 3/5+3/5 up to the early 1920s, later 6/10 ==Overview== This was a rare wheel arrangement for Garratt locomotives, with only seven locomotives built for two customers. The first was for the metre-gauge Mogyana Railway of Brazil, with five examples built by Beyer, Peacock and Company in 1912 and 1914.〔 The other was two locomotives built for the 3-foot gauge ''Ferrocarril Pacifico de Colombia'' by Armstrong-Whitworth in 1924.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「4-6-0+0-6-4」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
