#4613 New York Central Pullman Set with Red Painted Long-Truck Pullman Heavyweights
		Gilbert's #4613 set, made in 1946 and 1947, had the 322 Hudson locomotive and the rare long-truck painted Pullman cars.  I have the engine, but all my Pullmans are the short-truck variety.  If you don't look too closely, the #4613 looks a lot like my train below.
	#652 coach, made in 1947 with white sans serif lettering.  In 1946 they had a wider-spaced serif font in silver. This one is in quite good condition;  you are more likely to find them with windows loose and paint flaking. (This is a picture I took in Scott Kugler's store, D&S Hobbies of Temecula, California.)
		#653 Combination Car
		#654 observation car, made in 1947 with white sans serif lettering. (This is a picture I took in Scott Kugler's store, D&S Hobbies of Temecula, California.)
		Detail of the back platform. Warping of the early plastic frames commonly results in a sloping platform and trucks that don't hold the tracks well. (This is a picture I took in Scott Kugler's store, D&S Hobbies of Temecula, California.)
