About Us

Built by Modellers, For Modellers

Layout Concepts enters this new chapter with a simple commitment, to honour the heritage of DCC Concepts while building an even stronger future for railway modellers everywhere.

For many years, DCC Concepts earned a reputation for practical innovation, thoughtful design and products that genuinely solved problems on the workbench. That legacy matters. It was built by modellers who understood the challenges of wiring, installing, refining and perfecting layouts, not from theory, but from real hands-on experience.

We are proud to continue that tradition.

What We Do

Layout Concepts focuses on delivering high-quality products that simplify wiring, improve reliability and help modellers achieve professional results with confidence. Whether you are:

• Installing DCC systems

• Upgrading point control

• Improving electrical reliability

• Fine-tuning layout control

• Building from scratch or refining an existing layout

Our aim is the same, to make the technical side of railway modelling clearer, simpler and more accessible.

We understand that no two modellers are the same. Some enjoy complex installations and technical challenges. Others want straightforward solutions that just work. Our role is to support both, without judgement, and with clear guidance when it is needed.

A Seamless Transition

Layout Concepts has acquired DCC Concepts and will continue the same principles of quality, innovation and practical modelling expertise.

Product distribution is now handled by our trusted friends at TMC The Model Centre, ensuring efficient fulfilment and excellent customer service. This partnership combines specialist product development with one of the UK’s most respected model railway retailers, giving customers both technical expertise and dependable supply.

The products you know remain. The standards remain. The commitment to modellers remains.

How We Think

We believe:

• Good wiring should be logical, not intimidating

• Quality should never be compromised

• Clear information is as important as good products

• Support matters just as much as supply

• Railway modelling is a craft, and craftsmanship deserves the right tools

Above all, we believe strong relationships are at the heart of a successful hobby community. We are here not just to sell products, but to support the people who use them.

Looking Forward

This is not a reinvention, it is a continuation with renewed energy.

Layout Concepts will continue developing practical, high-quality solutions that make model railway wiring and control systems easier, more reliable and more enjoyable, for modellers across the UK and around the world.

Whether you are building your first layout or refining your tenth, we look forward to being part of your journey.
