The first unit of this class was built in 1924 for the MÁV. This locomotive got into Jugoslavia during the World War II, where it was in service till 1978. After its withdrawal from service it was on show in the depot of the marshalling yard of Zagreb for 18 years.

The locomotive has been returned to Hungary in September, 1997. In the further part of the article the reader can learn about the reconstruction. The ceremonial inauguration of the locomotive took place on the 10th July, 1998 in the frame of the Railwaymen's Day celebrations in front of the Transport Museum.
