South African manufacturer C H Funkey (now under the name DCD Rolling Stock) has been building industrial locomotives since 1930, many for work in mines. A couple of ex-industrial use locomotives have also been imported for use on the Welsh Highland Railway. The locomotives were used at a diamond mine in Namibia and later a cement factory in South Africa. The two locomotives were purchased by the Ffestiniog Railway in 1993. Originally the locomotives had a single centre cab but one of the locomotives has been rebuilt with a cab at each end.
