BAYKOMAN.COM Links Page

The purpose of this page is to both to provide [and recognise] support for the long term objectives of this site, and of the BAYKO COLLECTORS CLUB which I've always tried to reflect. As such I've included various links to active supporters of the site and the B.C.C., plus BAYKO dealers; B.C.C. member's sites; other related hobby sites; and other sympathetic sites…
…to encourage interest in construction toys in general and BAYKO in particular.

If you are interested in buying BAYKO spare parts, then, although I am not really a dealer, nevertheless, I may be able to help…
On the other hand, should you be interested in buying replica BAYKO rods I can definitely help…

The links below are in approximate alphabetical order and I thoroughly recommend each one with equal enthusiasm.

HORNBY Railway Collectors Association

The HORNBY Railway Collectors Association 'does what it says on the tin' including providing an excellent website for the use of its members.
This site, unsurprisingly, includes a large range of HORNBY related literature, with a rather inevitable overlap with BAYKO after the MECCANO takeover. The society has generously shared the relevant documents with this site, for which many thanks, but of course there is also much else which I am sure you will find interesting. They have also invited BAYKO Collectors Club members to show off their pride and joy at their exhibitions.

Her main interest is in architecture on a scale of 12 inches to the foot…

KIDDICRAFT & Hilary Page

A lively yet thoughtful study of this manufacturer of KIDDICRAFT plastic toys, a contemporary of C.B. Plimpton, by Charles Saunter…

MECCANO Index

While focussed primarilly on MECCANO itself, Timothy Edwards excellent site is much more broadminded than that, and includes a number of BAYKO-related images, including several pre-MECCANO takeover, i.e. from the Plimpton era.
This is a very comprehensive site, and well worth a visit.

…the show is excellent - and not just because of the inclusion of BAYKO!!!
