Who still runs Athearn switchers?

I have a couple of SW7s - one's an Amtrak example while the other's from the Special Edition set they did a few years ago for the PB&NE steelworks line. Both run, though they're not amongst my best Athearns - problem would seem to be that the flywheels are not big enough, and they both growl worse than the rest of the fleet. Having said that, I'm keeping an eye out for an undecorated dummy "Calf" unit to convert into a slug for use with the PB&NE example, as per prototype.
