 Locomotive Wheel Arrangement Designations
The arrangement of the wheels on a locomotive has always been indicative of the construction and type of services for which the locomotive is appropriate.
The wheel arrangement is (1Bo)Do'Do'(Bo1), assuming that the leading and trailing carrying axles are fixed in the same frame with the two driving axles accompanying them.
Usually, the leading and trailing wheels can move sideways or pivot, and the two sets of driving wheels are jointed, the rear set with the main frame, and the front set movable from side to side, called articulated.

 Hand propelled wheelchair (US4460190)
A three wheeled wheelchair wherein two of the wheels are leading wheels with the single wheel being a trailing wheel.
The handle assembly is attached to a steering mechanism which, through lateral movement of the handle assembly, causes the leading wheels to be turned in respect to the frame of the wheelchair.
A separate turning wheel assembly is to be manually movable to an extended position to cause the trailing wheel to be spaced from the supportive surface thereby permitting three hundred and sixty degree turning of the wheelchair about a single point.

Leading manufacturers around the world have made Sun wheels a trusted component in almost every kind of lawn, garden, and farm equipment imaginable for more than fifty years.
Properly constructed, wire spoked wheels retain their basic strength despite heavy loading, substantial shock, and torque transference.
They eliminate the costly uncertainty surrounding today’s "new" materials because, unlike some of those materials, wire spoked wheels are not susceptible to the stresses of extreme heat, cold, and ultraviolet absorption.

Offset (or often referred to as ET) is the distance between the centre of the wheel and the edge of the rim.
Positive offset wheels are generally found on front wheel drive cars and newer rear drive cars.
Another reason to be aware of the offset is if the wheel is offset too far one way or another it may contact the wheel arch or suspension.

The leading and trailing bogie wheels were `dipped' as normal but the driving wheels and motion gear components were all treated with chemicals applied by hand with a fine artists paintbrush, this allowed me to selectively leave the slide bars shiny and inner faces of the driving wheels untreated.

 Do it Yourself in Z-scale: Reviving Marklin Locomotives
Electricity flows from the wheels to the electrical contacts in the chassis, often to a circuit board (circuit board not present on steam engines and 0-6-0 diesels).
The kingpins serve two purposes: they connect the trucks to the chassis, allowing the trucks to pivot freely, and they serve as the axle that holds the spur gear, which transfers torque from the worm gear on the motor to the gears in the truck.
The copper contacts that touch some or all of wheels are spring-loaded; if you are dumb enough to remove one of those wheelsets (I speak from experience), you'll need to pinch the copper contacts against the chassis with a pair of tweezers in order to get the wheelset back on.

 Whyte notation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Whyte's system counts the number of leading wheels, then the number of driving wheels, and finally the number of trailing wheels, this being the common pattern of the conventional steam locomotive.
Thus, a locomotive with two leading axles (and thus four wheels) in front, then three driving axles (six wheels) and followed by one trailing axle (two wheels) is classified as a 4-6-2.
Here is a list of the most common wheel arrangements: in the illustration, which should be read left to right, with the front of the locomotive to the left, small o is a carrying axle, and a big O is a driving axle.

 2-6-0 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives by wheel arrangement, a 2-6-0 has a pair of leading wheels followed by six driving wheels.
Although locomotives of this wheel arrangement were built as early as 1852, these first examples had their leading axles mounted directly and rigidly on the frame of the locomotive rather than on a separate truck or bogie.
In these early 2-6-0s, the leading axle was merely used to distribute the weight of the locomotive over a larger number of wheels.
