They are located in Kent GB - They have some interesting English Buildings - Churches, etc- The website is verrrry vague on details though - re: scale. inside/outside use etc - As my daughter will be near there in June -I was thinking of having her pick up one or two
Neat stuff. Their ‘about’ page states:
The models are developed to cater for both 16mm and G scale layout. As with real buildings, there is no average size – they just look correct.Models are made from cast resin which is weatherproof and sometimes utilize plastic detail parts.
Thanks Bob- I sure missed that page!
Might be fun to order one of their structures, but I wonder about the shipping costs.

I just inquired as to shipping to our side of the pond. Probably won’t hear from them until late tomorrow or Monday.
Hi over in the UK the scales on 45mm track are less complicated and most in the main stream garden railway world tend to be G scale 1:22 on 45mm track or 16mm narrow gauge 1:19 on 32mm.
We do have a large Scale 1 and 0 faterinity also.
Pendlebury I believe are for the g scale and 16mm scale (we tend to be generic as the scales are so close and lots of producers do a general one fits all)
In the UK these tend to be cottage industry / solo concerns. I have not heard anything bad re Pendlebury, and seen some of thier buildings.
I have used Jacksons (basic kit for you to add your cladding) and Model Town (basic resin but detailed). IP engineering do basic laser cut kits for locos and rolling stock…very good.
Our big suppliers are Brandbright and Roundhouse for Locos. Dream Steam and RWM are mamod specialists
I have added the link for suppliers from 16mm ngm society web site and link to UK G scale society for you … good to have a prod around…a lot of our boys buy from your side of the pond also! On the 16mm site scroll down to the bottom of the linked page for suppliers and links.
Sorry more than you were asking

Dave, I have to wonder what the shipping would cost from the UK to the states (Colonies).
The USA is considered by the UK postal authority as Zone 2.
A small parcel of 100 grams will be about £4.00 UK GBP.
500G £7 .90 Both standard mailing not tracked or signed for.
100G £8.48 and 500g £12.90 International tracked and signed for.
They show on their website various weight for Standard mailing charge and for Tracked and signed for.
Check out www.postoffice.co.uk
XE currency on Google info will convert the UK to dollar.
Ross, I will have to look into that. I saw what I have been looking for on one of Dave’s links. But I have never ordered from overseas before.
Thanks

Postal costs? as my fellow countryman said!!! Most work it out for you. I would look at the Dollar / Pound conversion as we think you are cheaper to buy from in some cases
