The museum displays more than twenty old tramcars, the oldest dating from 1888 (steam engine). It also houses the oldest electric tramcar (1901), built in Belgium. The tramcars run on the line Thuin-Lobbes, which is the last Belgian metric railway line, allowing electric, gasoline and steam tramcars to pass.
