| Class 92 | See Technical Data |
 |
| The two sides of the Class 92 are identical, with a black 'shoe-box' style structure off-set by just two ventilation grills at the far end on the drivers side. Showing the as built BR double arrow logo on the cab side, No. 92035 Mendelssohn is illustrated. All the Class 92s were delivered with 'stick-on' type names, some have subsequently been given proper cast plates. The Channel Tunnel roundels are seen above the nameplate. CJM. |

| The locomotives owned by French National operator SNCF, were built with the company logo on the cab side below the number, otherwise these locos are the same as the UK owned machines. SNCF No. 92006 is seen at North Pole and shows clearly the retractable third rail power collection shoes on the bogie, located just below the grey coloured shoe beam. CJM. |
 |
| After the formation of EWS, the Class 92 fleet previously owned by BR were handed to their control. The SNCF locos while officially owned by the freight arm of the French National operator are used in one common pool with the EWS fleet. However the Eurostar locos, which when built carried a EPS badge on the cab side are now stored at Crewe. A start has been made on repainting a handful of Class 92s into EWS maroon and gold, which suits the body design well. No. 92031 is illustrated. CJM. |

| Class 92 front end layout, loco No. 92002 is illustrated. A-warning horns, B-roof height marker light, C-UK Group Standard lamp cluster, able to show marker, head and tail lights, D-coupling hook, E-air brake pipe, F-main reservoir pipe, G-ETS jumper cable, H-train control jumper, I-train control jumper socket, J-ETS socket. The two grey boxes on the front end just above track height are the pick-ups for TVM cab signalling. CJM. |
