The Diema locomotives type DL6 and DL8 have been produced from 1950 until 1970. The locos were, in contrast to the usual cardan joint drive, equipped with a chain drive.
This smaller loco was very succesfull in smaller companies with relative lighter tracks and moderate transport needs, and in total 260 have been build. It was one of the more sucessful designs of Diema.
