What We Do:
We manufacture and supply miniature figures and scenic accessories, made from etched brass and cast white metal, in the Dart Castings, Monty's Models and Shire Scenes product ranges along with model railway vehicle detailing parts in the MJT Scale Components range.

We also supply the Frogmore Confederacy range of detailing parts for Great Western Railway vehicles and the Trackpass range of 1:43 scale motor sport figures. While our roots are in model railways many of the items we supply can be used in other modelling projects such as dioramas and photographic work.

All castings and etches are made in Great Britain and are supplied unpainted. Please use the tabs at the top of each page to to navigate the site.

New items added to range:
New to the Shire Scenes range are some cast resin roofs for two axle Great Western coaches; S181, S182 and S183. The Shire Scenes etched coach sides were originally conceived as conversions for Ratio injection moulded kits. Some of the conversions require roofs which involve extensive modification to the roof supplied with the Ratio kit or a complete new one. Starting with some of the more difficult conversions the S181 is the correct single arc roof for the Diagram V2 Short Full Brake (S121) and W5 Hounds van (S122). The S182 is the right profile, length and, importantly, width for the Diagram S17 Metropolitan 5 Compartment Third (S106M). Similarly, the S183 fits the Diagram T59 Metropolitan 5 Compartment Brake Third.

Four new figures were recently added to the Monty’s Models 1:76 / 4mm scale range. MLV45 is a housewife in a housecoat and slippers; a companion for MLV39.

MSV70 is a Storeman or anyone who might be found in a dust coat or lab coat (depending on what colour it is painted). He is carrying a small case which could be a laptop computer.

MSV71 is an Industrial or Narrow Gauge Locomotive Driver. He is wearing a one piece dungaree type overall and is of small stature so might work for HO.

MSV72 is a gentleman wearing an overcoat (or raincoat) and trilby hat; he is carrying a clipboard. while we have called him a 'Depot Manager' he is a fairly generic character and could pass as a foreman, surveyor or inspector.
