Hi Reinhard,
According to the packet it came in, it's listed as.......Plain Bond brickwork.....# SSMP 212.
The piece in the picture was a leftover from a Wills' bridge kit that eventually fell to pieces as I wasn't good at glueing stuff together at the time! This is listed as English Bond #SSMP 227.
The main advantage of Wills' embossed card is that it doesn't require reinforcing by glueing to a plain piece of plasticard like many others which pretty much dispenses with the risk of warping. However, it's rigidity creates its own problems, mainly by being difficult to cut so call to your local tool hire shop and hire a grinder on your way home
It's also slightly overscale for HO - some have mooted that it's more suitable to 'S' scale - but if you don't tell anybody, I won't! I think it's ideal though for the slightly care worn look I'm after with this building, especially the technique I'm using.
Good luck!
