The MÁV Ia was an express train - steam locomotive series of the Hungarian State Railways MÁV for express train service on main lines, which was also procured by the Kaschau-Oderberger Bahn as series Ia .

Their area of ​​application was similar to that of the Austrian kkStB 106 and kkStB 104 . It was designed by MÁVAG in Budapest and shows the typical structural designs of the time: wet steam engine, low boiler position with the resulting external frame, Hall cranks in the drives with Stephenson external control as well as smoke chamber protruding up to the buffer beam to avoid excessive flying sparks.

The first delivery of 16 pieces (1881–1885) from MÁVAG and Sigl in Wiener Neustadt had a boiler pressure of 10.5 bar and a slightly shorter length than the subsequent deliveries (1890–1905), to which the Floridsdorf locomotive factory also contributed . In addition, the first six machines had Kamper bogies. The boiler pressure was also raised to 12.0 bar. The scope of delivery for the subsequent delivery comprised 185 pieces.

The MÁV gave the machines in their first designation scheme the numbers 183–188, 708–717, 723–732, 739–742, 1251–1253. In the second scheme from 1891 they were classified as category Ia with the numbers 11-211. In the third scheme valid from 1911 they were given the designation 220,001–197, 201–204.

Although much more powerful locomotives were developed in 1900, a number of locomotives were reproduced from this series again at this time. This shows that they are very popular with the operations service. Although they soon reached their performance limit due to increasing train weights, many locomotives in this series reached an astonishingly old age. In 1952 the last locomotives in this series were retired.

Today's 220.194 has been preserved as an operational locomotive number 204 of Lokopark Budapest .

The 220 series in Czechoslovakia

Six locomotives of the MÁV series 220 remained in the newly founded Czechoslovakia after 1918 . The ČSD gave the locomotives from 1924 the new series designation 264.5 and classified them as 264.501–506. In the ČSD network, the locomotives could only be seen on Slovak territory. The last machine, the 264.501, was taken out of service in 1937.

In the years 1895 to 1898, the Kaschau-Oderberger Bahn (KsOd) located in what was then Upper Hungary also procured five locomotives as class  Ia with the operating numbers 41–45. At ČSD they were given the designation 254.401–405 from 1924. The locomotives of the 220 series could not be used freely on many routes due to their design.
