BAYKO in 'British Toys', February 1962
Model Maker Robert Moy + Buckingham Palace

This is all about the stunning model of Buckingham Palace, built by MECCANO Model Room Manager, Bob Moy [right].

This was potentially a really excellent mention of BAYKO in 'British Toys', a key publication for the British and European toy trade...

...almost.

I know there are people out there who think I am hard on Mr. MECCANO, but I think, in this case, I can quite easily justify my criticism. Why not read the article and then I'll ask you a question at the end of it - OK?

So, what was I beefing about?

The article shows the stunning model of Buckingham Palace built by Robert Moy - but what was it made of? The only product mentioned in the article is MECCANO, the product used to make the model - BAYKO I believe it is called - isn't mentioned at all - not once.

Surely I must get some support for my view that this is pure incompetence, to say nothing of a missed opportunity, on the part of Mr. MECCANO...

...to manage to get an article printed in a key publication - without it once mentioning the product!!!

There is a second article mentioning the Buckingham Palace BAYKO model, this time in the following month's edition of 'MECCANO MAGAZINE'...
