An 0-8-0+0-6-0, in the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives by wheel arrangement, is the configuration for any such articulated locomotives with two separate pivoting engine units. The front engine unit has no leading truck, and 8 driving wheels. The rear engine unit has 6 driving wheels and no trailing truck. Any such locomotives built as tank locomotives are referred to as an 0-8-0+0-6-0T.

In the UIC system, this would be described as a D'C't arrangement.[citation needed] The suffix "t" denotes this locomotive being a tank locomotive. A locomotive that carries it's fuel and water on board via tanks for the water and a bunker at the rear of the cab for fuel.
