In the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives by wheel arrangement, a 2-6-0+0-6-2 is a Garratt articulated locomotive using a pair of 2-6-0 power units back to back, with the boiler and cab suspended between them. The 2-6-0 arrangement has a single pair of leading wheels in a leading truck followed by six driving wheels (three pairs) rigidly mounted in the locomotive's frame.

Since the 2-6-0 type was often called the "Mogul" type, the corresponding Garratt was sometimes known as a "double Mogul".
Other equivalent classifications are:
UIC classification: 1C+C1 (also known as German classification and Italian classification)
French classification: 130+031
Turkish classification: 34+34
Swiss classification: 3/4+3/4 up to the early 1920s, later 6/8
This was the second Garratt type to appear after the 0-4-0+0-4-0, and was first used on the fourth through ninth Garratts constructed; these were a group of six locomotives of 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) gauge constructed for the Western Australian Government Railways in 1911 as their Class M.[1] Further locomotives for the railway included seven of Class Ms in 1912.

Two recent examples of this wheel arrangement have been built for the Wells and Walsingham Light Railway a 10 1⁄4 in (260 mm) gauge heritage railway in Norfolk England. No.3, 'Norfolk Hero' was built by David King Engineering at North Walsham. A second Garratt locomoitve No.6, 'Norfolk Heroine' was due for completion 2010.
