From what I recall the LaBelle kit was based on plans published in Model Railroader magazine in the early 1960's. The drawings were considerably undersized, resulting in undersized kits from LaBelle. I think they are even undersized for making an RGS 0404.

Caboose 0504 disappeared many years ago. I think it was still a short caboose when it was destroyed.

None of that kept my dad and I from build in two LaBelle kits, numbered 0505 and 0503 (with blanked out window.)
