| | | | (...) OK Mark, now I'm stumped.... what parts did you consider juniorised? The 2x4 half circle macaroni bricks? Or? I missed 3 new Lego elements in my 1955 tally.

And the 1:87 cars/trucks were in existence 7 years before any Lego wheels came out. So some of these things that might (...) (20 years ago, 24-Feb-05, to lugnet.general)
