The Athearn unit is of a very late model unit built by Lima. The SP was one
of the roads that got them. The Q plows were not as modern and not as long
as the Athearn unit. I don't know if the Q plows operated regularly with
tenders but the AT&SF style oil tender is not a close match for any Q
tenders anyway.
But it is without doubt the nicest plastic HO snowplow on the market!!!
