This is fantastic, had this pop into my recommended today, and I'm pleasantly surprised. I am already well familiar with the Whyte notation and functions as I've rediscovered my love for steam engines thanks to my hyperfixation returning. But I am certainly going to subscribe and watch the rest of the videos, there is always something to learn!
Awesome work :D

Ahhh yes I’m finally glad that someone is doing a discussion about the whyte notation. I’m glad this pop upped and I can’t wait to see more about this, in your video that you make about this you should also include booster locomotives for their wheel arrangement is bizarre. 👍

Isn't it silly to count wheels instead of axles? Is an 4-6-0 (in Cerman 1 C for one pony axle and 3 x
coupled axles) an Articulated or an engine with an 2 axle pony truck and 3 coupeled axles ?

There is an issue with your definition for the the leading and trailing wheels. What happens when you have multiple axles that are carried independently of other such as on the Crampton style locomotives?
