On 21 December 2000 it was the last time a MAV Nohab worked a scheduled passenger train in Hungary.
The current locations of the Hungarian (MAV and ex-MAV) Nohabs are in Hungary:
MAV M61.001:
stands in red, MAV striped livery in the railway history park in the 'Füsti' depot (the current name for the former Eszaki depot) in Budapest and is in working condition for occasional use by MAV Nosztalgia Ltd. on their special trains.
MAV M61.002:
was used as a spare parts locomotive in MAV orange livery in the railway history park in the 'Füsti' depot (the current name for the former Eszaki depot) in Budapest. In March 2005 the NoHAB-GM Foundation bought the locomotive to prevent it from being scrapped. Of course, the loco is in a very bad condition and lacks a prime mover.

normally stands in MAV orange livery in the railway history park in the 'Füsti' depot (the current name for the former Eszaki depot) in Budapest. It is used nowadays for infrastructure trains in Hungary on line 1.
