New Haven 65x Style Passenger Sets
The #650 and #651 cars were used in a lot of sets and are very common.  Each of the sets contained two 650 coaches and a 651 REA baggage car, in either red or green.
I have the #4803A Atlantic Passenger set made in 1950.  It had green cars pulled a #302AC Reading Atlantic steam engine.  This set was first made in 1948, pulled by a #302 Reading Atlantic engine.

The following sets also had green cars:

The #4603 Atlantic Passenger set,  Gilbert's first passenger train, made in 1946-1947  It was pulled by a #300 Reading Atlantic steam engine.

The very rare #4604 set made in 1946, pulled by a #301 Reading Atlantic steam engine.

#5003T made in 1950 pulled by a #290 Pacific steam engine.
The following sets had red cars:

#4608 made in 1946 pulled by a #310 Pennsy Pacific steam engine.

The #4609 set made in 1946-1947 comprised the red #651 baggage car and two red #650 New Haven Coaches pulled by a #312 Pennsylvania Railroad steam engine.

The #4609A set made in 1948-1949 was the same as the #4609 but was pulled by a Pennsylvania Railroad Pacific steam engine, some the #312 and some the #312AC.


The following sets were shown with green cars in the catalog, but some sets were made with red cars:

#5103WT made in 1951 pulled by a #295 Pacific steam engine.

#5103WT made in 1952 pulled by a #285 C&NW Pacific steam engine.


None of my books tell which color cars were in the following sets; I presume that means they were made with both colors.

#5103T made in 1952 pulled by a #285 C&NW Pacific steam engine.
Check back later; those lists are not yet complete.
Also to be added:

1. List of sets that had a #718 operating mail car in place of the #651 REA baggage car
2. List of sets that had the #655 coaches
3. List of sets that had both New Haven cars and Pullman Heavyweight cars
