 | | Got balls? Heads up.

| After seeing the great ball moving into more and more train layouts... the "soccer" balls, seem a bit .... uh "strange" for lack of a better word. After a bit of group discussion, I was looking for a Lego substitute... Technic Ball Joints? Black or (...) (19 years ago, 15-Dec-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, FTX)
