Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives, 2-2-2-0 usually represents the wheel arrangement of two leading wheels on one axle, four powered but uncoupled driving wheels on two axles, and no trailing wheels, but can also be used to represent two sets of leading wheels (not in a bogie truck) two driving wheels, and no trailing wheels.
By 1840 the 2-2-0 tender type had largely been superseded by the 2-2-2 configuration.

The Patentee locomotive was a revolutionary 2-2-2 steam locomotive type introduced by Robert Stephenson and Company in 1833, as an enlargement of their 2-2-0 Planet type. The wheel arrangement of two leading wheels on one axle, two powered driving wheels on one axle, and two trailing wheels on one axle provided more stability and enabled a larger firebox than the earlier 0-2-2 and 2-2-0 types.
The design was not successful and the locomotives were withdrawn by 1867. It would later be used on the Royal Bavarian State Railways ML 2/2 class of 1906, which were much more numerous and successful. The Mount Washington Cog Railway has eight 0-2-2-0's and only two are in working order, with three in storage and the remainder on display.
