The five HGe⁴/4 's Nos. 11~15 delivered in 1930 formed the main electrical fleet

of the late Visp Zermatt line.  These rack locomotives were 14.1 metres long with

a maximum adhesion speed of 45 km/hour.  The bogies were used as prototypes

for other BVZ and FO locomotives.  Due to their appearance they became known as

BVZ Krokodils.  Today No. 15 is the only one still operating.  The models will have

correct livery - loco No. 14 with small snowploughs and No. 12 with the larger

current snowplough.
