| Details: Four Mercedes-Benz SK-series artic trucks have been used as service vehicles but all had subtle differences. 2471M was acquired second-hand in 1988 and had a sun-visor and airfoil very like similar 2474M. However, 2471M was to an earlier design of the SK-series, having a flat-bottomed cab window with deeper quarterlight, where 2474M's was sloped. 2472M was also to the earlier design but was the only one to have a day-cab (and no sun visor), while later design 2551M was unique in having three axles and the final design of grille. In this view of 2471M taken at Acton Works on 28th May 1992, another recognition feature is visible in the air-horns mounted above the driver's door. While on the subject of recognition, York trailer YT28 can be distinguished from broadly similar YT29 by having a different style of headboard and lacking wheelarches and beaver-tail. Both trailers originally had side panels. | ||
