Well there's Forneys and then there's not Forneys. And yes they were available in all gauges.
There was some suburban locomotives that looked a lot like Forneys but of course aren't and neither ware Mason Bogies. Forneys or originally designed to run tail first hence no lead wheel, the tender truck acted as a lead wheel.

It just occurred to me this morning how similar certain industrial 4-4-0s were to Forneys. Like the Bachmann On30 specimens. I have to wonder if there were standard gauge variants. I'll need to investigate.
