Going, going, gone....?
GBRf Class 92, 92 032 "IMechE Railway Division" still proudly displays its original "tunnel rings" - also known as polo mints, roundels or even toilet seats?!
92032 is due to undergo its long awaited overhaul and reliability mods later in 2019 and typically during such overhauls GB remove the tunnel rings (a corrosion risk apparently). Whilst the practical considerations are understandable, it's a shame these rings are likely to be nearing the end of their tenure as these are a key feature of the 92s.
