For the 350/2s DC use would not be possible without significant

What equipment? Just shoegear and DC fuses/circuit breakers etc,
surely?

It is still a reasonably significant amount of external hardware
across a 37 unit fleet, with 8 sets of shoe gear each.

That's 8 shoes each? Presumably 2 each side and each end of each
driving car? Just to be sure what you're counting as shoegear.

Yes, that's the normal 350/1 and 450/444 set up - 4 sets per end car.
