MAV V50-001 electric locomotive After the first world war in 1922 the Hungarian State Railways decided to study the possibilities of the electrification of the main lines. Kálmán Kandó has started experiments with the one-phase 50Hz system (This was very interesting experiment, because the 50Hz industrial standard system was used). They developed a "phase-converter" locomotive (VM 5) (1921), and used it on the Budapest Nyugati-Dunakeszi-Alag rail line since September 1923.In 1928 reconstructed the locomotive, you see this version (V50-001) of the locomotive on the picture.
