Schöma is a company based in Diepholz, Germany, specialising in the construction of small diesel locomotives.
The company was first called SCHÖMAG for short, which was changed a few years later to Schöma.
In the early years, Schöttler continued the production of mill machines and tractors, but soon started building rail vehicles.
They also developed their own engines and transmissions, as well as a drive shaft for diesel locomotives.
Since May 19, 2011 a Schöma-Feldbahn locomotive, built in 1943 with an attached peat car, has sat in the middle of a roundabout on the highway between Vechta and Damme in Lohne (Oldenburg) - about seven kilometers away from Diepholz - where for decades peat was transported from the Südlohner Moor on the foothills of the Dammer mountains.
