0-6-0+0-6-0

0-6-0+0-6-0

An 0-6-0+0-6-0, in the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives by wheel arrangement, is a Garratt articulated locomotive.

Other equivalent classifications are:

UIC classification: C+C (also known as German classification and Italian classification)

French classification: 030+030

Turkish classification: 33+33

Swiss classification: 3/3+3/3

The wheel arrangement is effectively two 0-6-0 locomotives operating back to back.

This was a rare class of Garratt. Beyer, Peacock, the owner of the Garratt patent, only built two of this type, to convert|2|ft|6|in|mm|0|abbr=on gauge, for the Buthidaung-Maungdaw Tramway in Burma. Belgian builder Société Anonyme St. Leonard of Liège constructed thirty-two for the Compagnie du C.F. du Congo, and two for the SNCV, while Hanomag, of Hanover, Germany, constructed a single locomotive for the Limburg Tramway. This last was the only inside-cylinder Garratt. [cite web
