s scale structure to trade for ho scale structure

American Flyer or Lionel peoples i have an o or s scale structure its idk what scale that is but its if anyone thinks what scale it is show me a picture of a s or o loco to a keyboard i will know what scale it is a a snapping kit it used to be a kids play-set but it will do as it is scaled i know that my friends sister used to have it she said i could use it for layout but alas it is too big for my ho scale layout so i figured it has to be o or s so if anyone wants it its a plastic one

i think this will help some understanding of scale

so if anyone has any ho scale structure(s) to trade im game

also if anyone has any plaster tips i need em

yes all the peices are there

If it's O or S scale a doorway will be about 1 1/4 inches to 1 3/4 inches tall, and 1/2 inch to 3/4 of an inch wide.

Kyle, you're really going to have to post a picture of it to get anyone interested: no one wants to buy a building with no clear idea of what it is. The fact that it's from your friend's sister's kid's playset doesn't make it sound very appealing: please post a pic with a ruler beside it so we can see what you're trying to trade!

modeltrainhead, instead of one (last) post you made four - you are flooding your own topic. by not including picture you demonstrated disrespectful attitude towards the subject and potential traders . edit the head post with all the information, appropriate punctuation, add a picture and remove the flood.
as you seen from "viewed" counter your trade thread was noticed. advertising it on other threads is spam and is extremely rude. i suggest you take care of this immidiatley.

my computer it wont download it will say error

Where to you get the error? When trying to move the picture from your camera to your computer, or when trying to upload it from your computer to the forum?

If it is the latter, then the picture is probably too big... Do you have a Photobucket account?

 

[modeltrainhead]

well its the putting it to the forum no i dotn have a photobuckit

Let me try to keep this short and sweet...

Open up the picture in Microsoft Paint... Go to the "Image" drop-down list and select attributes... The height and width will pop up and should be displayed in pixles by default... Take the larger of the two dimensions and divide 800 by that number, which will give you a percentage... Go back to the "Image" drop-down list and select Stretch / Skew (or Resize / Skew)... In the top two number fields, enter the percentage you calculated (rounded DOWN to the nearest whole number) and resize the image... Save the smaller picture as a JPG file, and then try uploading it to the forum again...

EXAMPLE: You picture is 1000 by 1500 pixles... 800 / 1500 = 53% (when rounded down)... When you shrink the picture down to 53% of its original size, it will be 530 by 795 pixles, which is a size the forum can handle

It's a true Eureka moment ! :thumbsup:

Nicely done, Kyle, and B&M, God's blessings upon you for your coaching and patience!

Now, Kyle----remember the part about a picture with a ruler, so we can have some idea of what size your model actually is?

 

[modeltrainhead]

k reck

 

[Reckers]

I'd definitely pass on it, Kyle, but thank you for offering.

Your garage door is about 2-3/8" tall, as compared to a real garage door which is about 8' tall (or about 96"), so I'd peg the building scale at something around 1:40 ... bigger than O scale, and certainly bigger than S.

Cheers,
