So I ordered a bunch of really well made trolley poles from a seller on ebay. They seem a bit too tall for my village layout. What's the best way to cut brass Razor Saw Dremel?

Dremel as they are ussually made of tubes.
If they're made of brass tubing, you could also cut them with a knife, either an X-Acto or a utility knife.
Simply place the item on a hard surface, then put the blade at the point where you wish to make the cut. Use downward force on the knife to carefully roll the tubing back and forth, not allowing the blade to wander. Depending on the diameter of the tubing, this method can be surprisingly quick.
I'd guess that a trolley pole might have some detail, such as a wheel or shoe on the upper end - in that case, you'll need to elevate the cutting surface enough that the detailed portion won't be touching anything while the pole is being rolled back and forth.

Get a pipe cutter. From your local hardware store

What he said, it works. I use a utility knife, it's heavy/large handle is nicer for me to use and control.
I also have a small tubeing cutter. I can't say when it was used last for 1/8'' or smaller diameter brass tube.
Can't you just drill a deeper hole?
