The Deutsche Reichsbahn and Deutsche Bundesbahn wanted to classify the vehicles of the Hamburg-Altona urban and suburban railway under the ET 99 series . Due to the switch to busbar operation and the decommissioning of the vehicles, this project was not carried out.

No longer included in the re-labeling plan, as they have already been retired:

Two of the vehicles, the elT 1642 and 1643 (planned ET 99 049 and 050), however, were given the series number ET 174 of the DB after being converted into luggage railcars.

Two of the railcar units have been preserved: The vehicles 1624 a / b were restored at the VVM and are on display in the Aumühle Railway Museum, as is the unrestored railcar 1638 a / b.
