Heljan

Heljan Model Railways

Heljan is a Danish manufacturer that has played a pivotal role in making ready-to-run O Gauge (7mm scale) model railways accessible. Before Heljan, O Gauge was almost exclusively the domain of kit builders — Heljan changed that with a growing range of ready-to-run British diesel and electric locomotives.

The Heljan O Gauge range covers key British diesel classes including the Class 47, Class 33, Class 26, Class 128 and many more, with DCC-ready mechanisms and high levels of detail. Heljan also produces OO Gauge models, including some prototype choices not covered by Hornby or Bachmann.

For O Gauge modellers, Heljan has opened up the scale to a much wider audience — you no longer need advanced modelling skills to run impressive 7mm trains.
