G scale (Garden scale) covers a number of scales. Do a Google search for "G scale". Wikipedia. and a bunch of others, can give you some general idea about this.

RE: G Scale Buildings?
G-Scale generally ranges from 1/20 to 1/32 in US.
The 1/20 is for narrow gauge (3 ft gauge track, primarily western themed)
The 1-29 - 1/32 is for standard gauge trains. (4ft 8 1/2 inches track like you see every day)
Have you considered using enlarged photographs spray adhesived onto Coroplast (very stiff, corogated plastic used for signs)? It would be more light weight, easier to find appropriate pictures of European WWII era buildings than to find railroad building kits, and easier to store (you could make them so that they fold up or disassemble easily).

RE: G Scale Buildings?
Found another good search term "Carentan" which yields great results.
And gave me an idea... use screen captures from Call of Duty or Medal of Honor.
Blow up the picture, print it, cut out the building, and attach to plastic sheet.
