Can any rational argument be made for an I1 having a Q2 tender? I'm usually not that steeped in equipment details like this.

Well, you got me curious on this.  I would say no, a Q2 tender would not work with the I1.  Here is why I think that based on trying to decifer the convoluted tender data from "Pennsylvania Railroad Classification and Description of Locomotives and Tenders", June 2 1952 .

-The tenders with XXXF82 had an 82" high tender deck (only I1?) with the stoker engine on the engine.

-The tenders with XXXF84 had an 84" high tender deck (Q2/J1/production T1) with the stoker engine on the tender.

Could a Q2 tender be modified to work on an I1?  Probably, but not likely.
