Shire Scenes is a manufacturer of etched brass kits which support the model railway/model landscape hobbies. The kits are to a scale of 4mm to 1ft (00 scale). The kits are best described as 'origami in sheet brass' except that they are generally far more simple than the Japanese paper-folding craft. Kits may be assemblesd with super-glue avoiding the need for soldering skills. Etched brass is ideal where delicate detail is essential or where thin metal sheet or plywood is a medium on the prototype. The range includes horse drawn vehicles, street/platform furniture and the well known range of GWR coach sides for 4/6 wheel vehicles.

Shire Scenes also produce kits for 2mm to 1ft (N gauge) and some Z gauge kits and kits specific to the European/US scale of 3.5mm to 1 ft (H0) but these are not currently available online from Dart Castings.
