Hi Flood, Mary has it right - Bayko sets came with a green base into which rods were put, you were then able to slide bricks, windows and doors between the rods, the possibilities of design were endless and no doubt Bayko encouraged some young designers into a profession of architecture. If you look on e-bay Flood you will find lots of Bayko sets. The other great thing about Bayko was, once you owned a set it was possible to add to it with individual pieces, my pocket money was often spent on a Bayko door, fence, window or chimney.

I agree Petal - Bayko was better than Lego and it encouraged one to be technical and to use design skills.
