The twin-set was built in 1930 out of two 1911 solo tramcars. Later it was renumbered to 9600+9601, then to 2400+2401, and then to 2420+2421. The twin-set was renovated to its 1930 state in 2000 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the electrification of the BLVV lines (BLVV was a suburban railway company serving Pestszentlőrinc - parts of their lines have become tram routes 42 and 50).
This vehicle is now a gem in the Szentendre Urban Transportation Museum, and has been brought back to the Budapest tram network only to perform in a historical movie.
