Am I right in thinking that 1992 stock has smaller wheels than other

It does seem strange that a heavy train could become derailed by
something light enough to have become dislodged by vibration or air
movements and apparently flap around in the wind.

Maybe, but a train has considerable forward momentum so wouldn't take
too much to derail if the obstruction was in exactly the right (or
wrong, perhaps) position.

Exactly.One of the last derailments was a train at Ryneers lane that
had its shoegear dislodged, theis then derailed it.
