After World War II, Japan National Railways' diesel locomotives started out as electric locomotives equipped with engines manufactured under license from overseas, but at the same time research into domestically produced engines based on pre-war technology also progressed.
As a result, the DD13 type liquid diesel locomotive appeared in 1958 (Showa 33) with the newly developed engine DMF31S.
This locomotive, which was built primarily for shunting purposes but also with a certain level of main line operation in mind, has since been deployed across Japan with repeated improvements over the course of about 10 years, bringing the total number to 416. That's what I did.
