Originally specialising in decorations and accessories for model railways, it has now also developed a substantial range of rolling stock.

British Outline now forms the biggest part of the Heljan business and UK operations are run from Denmark through an agent. In line with other model train companies and to keep costs to a minimum models are manufactured in China. In March 2026 Heljan was acquired by fellow model railway company Accurascale.2
