It's funny you should mention the 'do-nuts' as when I visited the Kirklees Light Railway I asked the very same question...
 
Apparently everyone asks the same question too. LOL!
 
I was told they were for the Leeds Guided Busway...
 
 
 
When pressed, I was informed the do-nuts were part of the springing / suspension arrangements.
 
http://www.friendsofklr.co.uk/ and click on Owl provides more information on the loco.
 
 
Hope this helps.

Very interesting!
However I have a question regarding the black-painted loco OWL. This seems to be a mix of Heisler and Climax articulated types, but what are those grey "doughnuts" fixed to the bottom of the bogie frames, just inboard if the wheels?
