Oldtimer-Fahrtage BERNMOBIL historique, kombiniert mit Modellbahn Expo 2026
Overview
Intro
Classic car driving days organized by BERNMOBIL historique, combined with the Model Train Expo 2026 at the Bern Tram Museum.
BERNMOBIL historique’s Vintage Vehicle Days, combined this year with the Model Train Expo
On September 5 and 6, 2026, the Weissenbühl terminus of Line 3 will serve as the starting point for a brief journey through time. The Tram Museum will open its doors for the BERNMOBIL historique Vintage Vehicle Days.
A wide variety of vehicles from different eras will be on the tracks. Historic trams and buses will operate on regular city routes, bringing a bygone era back to life. The focus is on the Bern steam tram, whose rhythmic hissing and whistling give a sense of what public transportation once sounded like.
A weekend that brings together two forms of transportation history—on a 1:1 scale and in model form.
At the same time, the museum is hosting a model railroad exhibition. Layouts and dioramas from Switzerland and abroad showcase the breadth of a hobby that lies at the intersection of technology, design, and close observation. A closer look reveals scenes of everyday life in miniature: maintenance yards, shunting maneuvers, and unassuming moments along the tracks.
Among the exhibitors are well-known international names in the scene, including Eddy de Wilde (Belgium), Alain Kap (Luxembourg), and Diger Rossel (Netherlands). The Swiss collective modellisten.ch will also be on site, offering insight into its working methods—such as the aging of vehicles.
