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 Rail Tours (the former MAV Nosztalgia Ltd.) on their special trains, but it is used nowadays for infrastructure trains in Hungary on line 1.
MAV M61.002:
was used as a spare parts locomotive in MAV orange livery. 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. It resides at the Budapest Keleti shed.
MAV M61.004: one nose section stands at the Tapolca depot (having been transfered from Budapest traffic museum on 17 December 2015).
MAV Rail Tours M61.006:
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.
NoHAB-GM Foundation (purchased on 21 December 2001 from MAV) M61.010:
is in the original MAV deep purple/white stripe livery and normally stands in a shed in Budapest Keleti. The locomotive is in full operating condition since 19 January 2010. It is planned to haul rail enthusiast and general public railtours and it may be used for freight train haulage. Since 5 November 2013 NOHAB-GM Foundation M61-010 (now numbered 92 55 0618 010-6, or 618 010 in short) runs for MTMG Logisztikal Zrt. oil trains from Nyergesújfalu to Győr. This is a feeder service for the Retrack project.
MAV Maintenance of Way Department 2761 017:
renumbered from M61.017 (and later on A61.017) this locomotive in red livery with a white stripe and a small blue line was reconstructed for 120 km/h workings;
MAV Rail Tours M61.019:
normally stands in MAV orange livery (in operating condition since 7 november 2003) in the railway history park in the 'Füsti' depot (the current name for the former Eszaki depot) in Budapest. It is standing at BoBo Kft. in Miscolc awaiting the major overhaul of its bogies.
MAV M61.020:
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. It is being kept in working condition by MAV Rail Tours for occasional use on their special trains as spare locomotive for MAV 61.001 or for work trains.
In the end of 2010 MY 1125 was bought by rail freight company Kárpát Vasút from Eichholz Eivel in Germany. This loco is now active in Hungary and is numbered 459 021.
In April 2015, Kárpát Vasút bought TMY 1156 (ex-DSB 1156) in DSB red/black livery from Tĺgab in Sweden. It was transported to Hungary in April 2015 and was renumbered in 459 022 and initially got a pink "Sziget 25" livery. Now it has a red/white stripe MAV livery. In the beginning of 2015, MAV Nosztalgia (now called MAV Rail Tours) bought 5201 from TSP in Belgium. It resides at the Budapest Keleti shed. In February 2016, Di3.623 was bought by the NoHAB Foundation in Hungary and was moved from its previous owner Tagab in Sweden to Hungary. The locomotive got one cabine burned out after an accident in Fagelsjö on 5 April 2014 and carries a green with white stripes livery.
