Response from Bob Nelson:
The Lionel models that had them seem to be the Santa Fe 617, 622, 6220, and 623, the Chesapeake and Ohio 624, and the Seaboard 6250. The only prototype example that I could find in Marre's Diesel Locomotives: the First 50 Years was a Burlington SW1200.

Response from Bob Keller:
Bob, there is a CB&Q BLW VO-1000 with the wheel antenna on p. 301, so it might have been a Burlington-specific add-on.

Apparently, Santa Fe used the wagon wheel antenna on some F-units.

It on the rear of the lead F in the photo.

The antennas can barely be seen on the A-units in the following photo:
