Production Details:
Oxford Diecast British Rail TK Emergency Bridging Unit
Open. The Bedford TK was produced by the Vauxhall-owned Bedford company. It
was introduced in 1959 and had a variety of uses, including fire engines,
military vehicles, flatbed trucks and other specialist utility vehicles. The
letter 'T' stood for 'Truck'. It epitomised the perfect lightweight truck
and remained so until the end of the 1970s. Available as a rigid truck as
well as a tractor unit, it proved very versatile and its longevity speaks
for itself, as it is still used in some developing countries even today.
