Thus a 4-6-2-type Garratt is a 4-6-2+2-6-4. For Garratt locomotives, the plus sign is used even when there are no intermediate unpowered wheels, e.g. the LMS Garratt 2-6-0+0-6-2 . This is because the two engine units are more than just power bogies .
The introduction of the 4-6-2 design in 1901 has been described as "a veritable milestone in locomotive progress". [3] On many railways worldwide, Pacific steam locomotives provided the motive power for express passenger trains throughout much of the early to mid-20th century, before either being superseded by larger types in the late 1940s and 1950s, or replaced by electric or diesel-electric ...
AT&SF locomotive no. 1300, a 4-4-6-2 Mallet type. Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotive wheel arrangements, a 4-4-6-2 is a locomotive with two pairs of leading wheels, one set of four driving wheels, a second set of six driving wheels, and a pair of trailing wheels. Other equivalent classifications are:
French classification: 230+031 Turkish classification: 35+34 Swiss classification: 3/5+3/4. This wheel arrangement was used only as a very limited number of locomotives in North America, most notably as class MM-2 oil-fired cab forward locomotives on the Southern Pacific Railroad. [1] These were effectively 2-6-6-4s running in reverse.
Twenty-nine 4-6-2+2-6-4 Garratts, constructed between 1936 and 1941 by Société Franco-Belge in Northern France, operated until the Algerian independence war caused their withdrawal in 1951. This class, designated 231-132BT, was streamlined and featured Cossart motion gear, mechanical stokers and 1.8 m (5 ft 11 in) driving wheels, the largest ...

The 4-6-4+4-6-4 was the fifth most common Garratt wheel arrangement, with 84 locomotives constructed, 74 by Garratt patent owner Beyer, Peacock & Company between 1936 and 1950 and ten under sub-contract from Beyer, Peacock by Belgian manufacturer Société Franco-Belge in 1952. [1] [2] Only three railway systems used this wheel arrangement.
