The BPV 1-18 were freight train - Tender locomotive of the Budapest-Five Kirchener Railway ( Budapest Pécsi Vasút , BPV).

The BPV ordered these 16 locomotives from Wöhlert in Berlin in 1882 . Two more followed in 1883 from Floridsdorf .

They were given the company numbers 1-18. On the occasion of the nationalization of the BPV in 1889, they were given the MÁV numbers 1015-1032, then the category designation IIIk and the numbers 3031-3048. From 1911 they were 341.001-018.

The locomotives were in service with MAV until the mid-1950s. The only surviving locomotive is the former 341.012. She was in service until 1959. After that she was the operating locomotive at a sugar factory in Sárvár for about 20 years . Reconstructed in 1985, it has been part of the Budapest Railway Park ever since . It is all the more astonishing because it is the only surviving specimen from the Wöhlert company.
