0-8-6

An 0-8-6, in the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives by wheel arrangement,[1] is a locomotive with no leading wheels, eight driving wheels (4 axles) fixed in a rigid frame, and six trailing wheels (normally mounted in a trailing truck). Examples of this type of locomotive were built by Wilhelm von Engerth.

Equivalent classification

Other equivalent classifications are:

  • UIC classification: D3 (also known as German classification and Italian classification)
  • French classification: 043
gollark: It isn't a very testable theory.
gollark: From *your* perspective and nobody else's, you can never actually die.
gollark: Oh yes.
gollark: What's "quantum-death"?
gollark: If you exist and perceive things, you clearly aren't dead, so you only observe worlds where things somehow resulted in you not being dead.
