The BAYKO Collectors Club celebrated the 75th birthday of the world's first and finest plastic construction toy last week-end at the Merstham Model Steam Show. Two days where the club exposed their unbelievable Bayko Constructions.
Here are some of their impressive achievements like the Bayko Cathedral made with not less than 30,000 parts:
St Bayko Cathedral- with large bells constantly ringing-
Buckingam Palace
The Pier
A lot of other sets were exposed at their massive stand.
Eckersley Towers
Bayko Display
Maisons d'Afrique
I loved this set, maybe the fact that I'm French has something to do with it!
Jackie in action building a set
Indeed, everbody was constantly building something! I very much enjoyed meeting Alwyn, Andy, Brenda, Frank, Gary, Henry, Jackie, Ken, Leo, Malcolm, Peter, Robin, Steve, Vicki. (I hope I did not forgot anybody). With a friendly and merry atmosphere... the Bayko Club has definitely celebrated Bayko anniversary as it should be.
Credits: Thank you to Andy Harris for the six first pictures and also to Christian for the last ones. They are great.

BAYKO 75
Thanks to everyone for their comments. Super show. 75 years since first introduction of BAYKO, so we put on 1600 sq ft and 50 tables of BAYKO and Alternative Construction systems. Just some of what the 100 BAYKO Collectors Club members own! Jackie alone has 800 systems! For more details Google in BAYKO or look at www.baykoman.com of Cathedral fame. Approx 30,000 parts. I know we put in 20K in 10 days in a mammoth build to get it ready.
BAYKO isn't too difficult to get except in quantity for this volume. In the Club we have new spares, repro, long rods, floors, cut roofs, and other original spares, mainly post war, as quite a few people search for pre war due to different colour variarions.
