From Derail Valley

On diesel and electric vehicles, wheel arrangement is represented by the number of powered axles . Unpowered axles are not taken into account. On steam locomotives , wheel arrangement is represented by the number of leading unpowered wheels, the number of driving wheels, and finally the number of trailing unpowered wheels (aka Whyte notation, but with hyphens omitted).
