There has been plans for diesels to replace the fireless locos, but these have been shelved, due to the current business recession. The company looked at more fireless locos from Eastern Germany, but these are all 12 bar pressure locos. The Lenzing locos are the “Gilli-lok” 20 bar, high-pressure type, which they need to handle the heavy workload here. Specially built 20 bar locos would be much too expensive, and getting spares for the existing locos is an increasing problem.
