Those bricks are a good addition to your line. That was a very common bond and should be a good seller. |

Pat, they didn't have metal tabs or other styles of reniforcement to hold the exterior brick to the subwalls. Most of these building were built two layers thick and the bonding row held the two together. You'd end up with an 8" thick wall.

| Thanks Walt, that must have been alot more expensive to build, not only one wall but have to build 2 on each side. Pat |

Walt, here's a cell phone of Carrollton's old railroad station that I took in May when I stopped in for lunch. The first one burned down sometime in the early 1870's and the W.&L.E. built their new station around 1875 or so. This station is on my scratch building list for a few years down the road. I'll diffidently be ordering some of the brick sheets.

Scott, That's definately a different "bonding" row design. Every row has a bonding brick. I'll have to see if I can work that one into a sheet..... some day down the road.

Somebody my son knows bought it and turned it into a restaurant/beer garden. The bond is unusual. I'll get some better photos next time we eat there.

Rusty's sheet design seems to follow what's sometimes called an American bond (bond means pattern). The one on the station photos appears to be a Flemish bond.
Slater's Plastikard (from the UK) has several brick paterns in different bonds for HO scale but it's tough to get here. Rusty's new pattern should be a welcome addition. |
