0-2-2-0

Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives, 0-2-2-0 represents the wheel arrangement of no leading wheels, four powered but uncoupled driving wheels on two axles, and no trailing wheels.[1] Some authorities place brackets around the duplicated but uncoupled wheels, creating a notation 0-(2-2)-0.[2]

Usage

The only recorded usage of the arrangement was in four locomotives designed by Patrick Stirling for the Glasgow and South Western Railway in 1855.[2] The design was not successful and the locomotives were withdrawn by 1867.

gollark: Anyway, the description for Causal Mondays (a chronoxeno) does mention actual time travel and was accepted, so presumably there is *some* support for the idea of time magic extending to time travel.
gollark: It doesn't have to be a duel to the death.
gollark: Of course, aeons/chronos are, strictly speaking, only explicitly only shown to have views of the future/past and time speed change, respectively.
gollark: Look cute? Peck at other dragons feebly?
gollark: Yes, and most sensibly-thought-out time travel models, if the consequences are properly explored, allow ridiculous power.
