This isn't a train question per se--I ran into this ad for a Brit building product, 1955--has anyone ever seen any of these structures--built with this product--in a train layout. I'm curious how they actually looked and haven't seen much on the web.

Maria: did a quick google search. Found these right off. Pretty big wiki entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayko And then a company that supplies replacement parts. http://www.baykoshop.com/ Looks like a lot are sold on ebay too, Steve |

Thank you! You know it never occurred to me to go to wiki! |

Sounds like a cooking (baking) toy. I wonder why they thought naming the product after its key component (Bakelite) would be a good idea. Now if they'd called it "legos" or even "lok-a-blok" I'll keep my eye out at the big flea market (Clark County Fairgrounds Extravaganza) this fall. Paul |

I'm 56 years old and I know I would enjoy playing with a set like that! I loved Legos as a kid. Back then Legos didn't have all the different pieces like they do now. |

Missed it but a friend said a set of these blocks was on EBAY last summer and sold for a pretty penny. |
