There is a switcher that comes close to Lionels 44 ton, but it's closer to 144 ton and would have needed licence.  You almost have to wonder if the outcome was a compromised design to a more popular Whitcomb as only a few of these existed.  Gramps had custom one's based on Lionels.

132 tons.  Why would you need a license?  The Wellsville Addison and Galeton bought five of the eight units GE made from Ford.

There were 8 of these units built for Ford, a couple of 125 tonners and the rest were 132 tonners. All eight were basically the same in appearance. The WAG bought 7 of the 8 centercabs from Ford.
