	Wheel arrangement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the United States and the British Isles, the Whyte notation is generally used for steam locomotives.
		The United States uses the AAR wheel arrangement scheme for diesels and electrics.
		Especially in steam days, wheel arrangement was an important attribute of a locomotive, because there were many different ones, each optimised for a different use.

	AAR wheel arrangement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The AAR wheel arrangement system is a method of classifying locomotive (or unit) wheel arrangements that was developed by the Association of American Railroads.
		This arrangement also includes locomotives made of two permanently coupled B-B units, such as some EMD FT units which had a solid drawbar connecting two units instead of the typical couplers.
		This arrangement was used on the Jawn Henry coal-fired steam-turbine locomotive built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works for the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway in May, 1954.

	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.

		The huge boiler and extended wheel arrangement that this system of articulation permits is noteworthy, and the fact that the engine is to operate on a 50-lb.
		The boiler rests in the usual plate type of cradle frame, lengthened to take care of the new wheel arrangement; the plates are stayed together at each end by a steel casting of massive proportions, carrying the top portion of the pivot centre arrangement.
		Sand gear of the Lambert type is also arranged particularly for forward running, the application being to the leading coupled wheels of the front and hind units and behind the coupled wheels of the hind unit only for backward running, there being thus two sand boxes on the front unit and four on the hind.

		Locomotives are often described by their wheel arrangement, which is the configuration of leading, driving and trailing wheels.
		It has been suggested that all known wheel arrangements expressed using the Whyte system should be included individually in this thesaurus but, after some debate, the general consensus is that this would add a rather tedious and unhelpful list of over 150 terms (considerably more if all the permutations of tank types are added).
		To derive the Whyte wheel arrangement, the number of wheels is counted starting with leading undriven carrying wheels, followed after a dash by the number of coupled driving wheels, another dash and finally the number of undriven trailing wheels.

		Wheel arrangements can, at first, be difficult to understand but it is soon easy to recognize what arrangements belong to what locomotives.
		For example, for a locomotive like the ‘Rocket’ the British wheel arrangement notation is 0-2-2 - no bogie or front wheels, a pair of driving wheels and a pair of rear carrying wheels.
		The wheel arrangement classification for diesel and electric locomotives is different from steam locomotives.

		The notable exceptions to the front wheel steering norm are the pre 1997 Honda Prelude and the pre 2000 Mitsubishi 3000 GT.
		There are several advantages to this arrangement; however, there are quite a few cars in which the driving wheels are the rear wheels or all the four wheels.
		However, the rear wheels are pointed away from the curve, and this causes a torque to develop which tends to spin the car in the direction of the curve.

		This arrangement allowed the students to put a sprocket on the other side of the front wheel over which they could run a chain that was also connected to a sprocket system mounted off the handlebars that in turn was linked to a crank and hand-pedal system that the rider could use.
		This arrangement was necessary to enable riders to better steer the bicycle while pedaling with their hands.
		The fork was placed on the right side of the wheel instead of the left side for which it was designed and this allowed the bolt that held the wheel in place to turn in the wrong (loosening) direction.

		A notation used to identify the wheel arrangement of locomotives by specifying non driving axles by numers and driving axles by letters (followed by 'o' if they are not coupled).
		For example C-C means no leading wheels, two sets of six coupled/driving wheels, and no trailing wheels, Co-Co indicates the same except that the driving axles are independently powered and not coupled together, A1A-A1A is a similar wheel arrangement except that the centre pair of wheels in each set are not powered.
		A notation used to identify the wheel arrangement of locomotives by specifying first the number of leading wheels, then the number of coupled/driving wheels, and finally the number of trailing wheels.

		In the Whyte notation for the wheel arrangement of locomotives (primarily steam locomotives), an 0-6-0 is a locomotive with six powered driving wheels (thus three powered axles), and neither leading or trailing wheels.
		In the UIC classification popular in Europe, the same arrangement is written as C (if the wheels are coupled with rods or gears) or Co (if they are independently driven).
		The 0-6-0 became possibly the most common wheel arrangement for switchers worldwide; the 0-4-0 proved to be too small and not powerful enough for most applications, while the 0-6-0 proved to be 'just right'.
