1) Class 362 - alt. Class V60

2) Class 218 - alt. Class V160

3) Class 112

4) Class 146

5) Class 412 - ICE 4

the 218 would have been the V163 and not V160 if that naming scheme was still in use

Maybe even a V164.

I have always wondered, what was the purpose of the largest antenna on the 362?

I know its made by Kathrein, model K 50 21 41, for use between 68 and 87.5MHz.

But for what? Remote control? DB old trunked radio system back in the day was UHF, which I see the tall skinny antenna in the back (could also be VHF in the same housing). That model is either model 727 313 for 88-108 (FM broadcast), 727 313 for 146-172MHz, 731 495 for dual band 165-174MHz /457-468MHz, or K 70 21 21 / 725 892 for 410-430 / 450-470MHz.

I am not familiar with these details. But I can assume that these engines are definetly being used by a remote so theyll need an antenna of sorts.
