alinfred,
These locomotives were built for the US Army during the Second World War and were also used in Africa, India and Malaysia, and in some South American countries. They were usually built for 3'6" gauge and for metre gauge. Locomotives of this design were also built by Alco as well as by Baldwin.
Because these locomotives were not built to standard gauge, they were not used in the USA (Although some may have run on the 3'0" White Pass and Yukon).
Again, since they were not standard gauge, no HO models of these locomotives have been made. It would be possible to make an HO model using 12mm (TT gauge) track, but as far as I know this has not been done.
