Yes, I am aware of the potential difficulties. However, the engine and two car set have unique appeal ... both aesthetic and historical ... which is why folks chase them. There are a number of trains like that, as I am sure you well know. It was on the front of the catalog, no less. After a decade, my sample is still fine.
By the by, you did not state that you can't fix the 6-11224 Atlantics if they have a problem; just that you don't like fixing them. 
In good fun.
