A 2-6-8-0 steam locomotive, in the Whyte notation for describing locomotive wheel arrangements, has two leading wheels, a set of six driving wheels, a set of eight driving wheels, and no trailing wheels. These locomotives usually employ the Mallet principle of articulation, with a swinging front engine and a rigidly attached rear engine.

The Great Northern Railway M-1 was a class of 35 American 2-6-8-0 locomotives introduced in 1910. A total of 35 of these Mallet locomotives were built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in two batches; the first 10 in December 1909, followed by a further 25 in June to August 1910. [1]

A 2-6-8-0 steam locomotive, in the Whyte notation for describing locomotive wheel arrangements, has two leading wheels, a set of six driving wheels, a set of eight driving wheels, and no trailing wheels.

North American steam locomotive are categorized by their wheel arrangement. The system used to categorize these wheel arrangements is called "The Whyte System". In this system numbers are assigned to the leading, driving, and trailing wheels of the locomotive. The first number is the number of leading wheels.

One of the few classes of locomotives delivered with the odd 2-6-8-0 arrangement. Drury (1993) speculates that it was adopted as a way to get more adhesion. As delivered they were M-1 compound engines (see Locobases 352 and 13536) , but they were simpled in 1926-1928.

2-6-8-0 (plural 2-6-8-0s) Under the Whyte notation system, a Mallet-type locomotive with two leading wheels on a leading truck, a set of six driving wheels followed by another set of eight driving wheels, and no trailing wheels.
