Rob,
True that the 3651 was never packaged in an outfit with these locos, but it could be coupled and run with them.
Over the years as a youngster, I got an 810 for Christmas and my locos were two 253s, later Santa left an 820 Floodlight car. Still my motive power were the 253s. In 1936 I got a 238E with 600-series passenger cars. The best thing was the whistle. Later years added a 3859, with associated 97 Elevator, and a 3814 with no additional motive power. None of the additional cars were ever packaged with the 253s or 238 but I had no problems running them.
Let's remember that they sold as TOYS and remain toys.
