USA TC 45 Tonner GE WW II

-could someone refer me to plans for the US Army 45 ton GE switchers used in WW II and thereafter. I know the cab is lower, any other changes from the 44 ton GE used widely in the US? I have seen pictures in Robert Touret's Allied Military Locomotives in World War II, need drawings on which to base a model.
-Bachmann has made a 44 tonner in HO, but I am looking to do a 45 tonner for a WW II module in N scale, hence the need to bash. Thanks

I have a Drawing PP-6740074 third angle projection Locomotive B-B-90/90-2GE733-56-1/2" OUTLINE. This is for 45-Ton (300-HP) Diesel-Electric Locomotive furnished the Navy in April 1942
I can sent you to copy 18x11

Don't have the drawings, sorry I'm no help there. But wanted to point out for those not familiar that GE built some locos for the military which are best described - UNofficially - as "45-ton 44-tonners". These were based on the common 44-ton design (with lowered cabs as noted) but weighed 45 tons. The confusion can arise because when most of us think of a 45-tonner we think of TWO traction motors and either side rods or chain drive to the other 2 axles. These military 45-tonners actually had 4 traction motors like a 44 ton. One example - I forget the military's number - OMID #5, later sold to Landisville RR (and I believe restored to its former military number).

To further complicate nomenclature, the military also had some true 45-tonners, with 2 traction motors.
