The MAV Class 411 was the Hungarian State Railways name for the USATC S160 2-8-0 steam locomotives it bought after World War II. Short of motive power after war damage and confiscation, Hungary used part of a 150 million dollar American commodity loan to buy 510 engines at ten thousand dollars each, the first arriving in May 1947. They came from three builders, 159 from ALCO, 148 from Baldwin and 203 from the Lima Locomotive Works, and were numbered by arrival date rather than by maker. MAV rebuilt them over many years, raising the cab roof, fitting oval windows, an air brake and a taller stack. They hauled medium freight and some passenger trains, were withdrawn from 1965, and three survive in Hungary.
