The no. 11 of the Berner-Oberland-Bahn (BOB) was the locomotive type HG 2/2 with c/n 797, 0-4-0, built by SLM Winterthur in 1893, and was a unique piece of its kind. It was named "EIGER ". The locomotive did not perform as hoped and was therefore hardly used during the winter months. In 1908, the Swiss locomotive and machine factory SLM wanted to buy back the defective steam locomotive, but the BOB refused the sale and kept the locomotive in its reserve. In 1914 the locomotive was completely overhauled and the gear drive was probably removed. In 1924 it was moved to the Grütschalp to the Lauterbrunnen-Mürren (BLM) mountain railway. The locomotive was parked in March 1946 and decommissioned in 1947. In 1949 it was scrapped in Zweilütschinen.
