context_page_description: Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives by wheel arrangement, the 2-8-0+0-8-2 is a Garratt articulated locomotive. The wheel arrangement is effectively two 2-8-0 locomotives operating back to back, with the boiler and cab suspended between the two power units. Each power unit has a single pair of leading wheels in a leading truck, followed by four coupled pairs of driving wheels and no trailing wheels. Since the 2-8-0 type is sometimes known as a Consolidation, the corresponding Garratt type could be referred to as a Double Consolidation.
  A similar wheel arrangement exists for Mallet type locomotives, but is referred to as 2-8-8-2.
context_section_description: The Mauritius Railway owned three 4 ft 8 ¹⁄₂ in (1,435 mm) standard gauge 2-8-0+0-8-2 Garratts, also built by Beyer, Peacock in 1927.
