I just got a Postal Money Order for $3.99 from Woodland Scenics for some Apples and Oranges made by them purchased from Scenic Express.
I brought this product back in 2009? as I needed apples for my orchard and farm store. I needed to put apples in crates at the orchard and for big Neil (Muffler Man) (Butchered 45N Lionel Accessory for a good cause) to hold a crate of apples at the farm store. Well following their instruction, you are to spray them with 50 50 white glue mixture so they stay together which created a total mess of running red color. You see, these are cookie sprinkles that I could of gotten at a grocery store! I was really disappointed as for one, I had no idea they would put this out for apples, as they are mainly used for making apple trees and two, putting a sugar product on a layout is probably not a good things, as they probably will rot in time and attract bugs. I called Scenic Express asking for a refund, they told me to call Woodland. I did and they offered me a 3.99 credit on a future order from them. Great, as I needed trees one day. When it came to ordering trees, they had nothing I like, so I went elsewhere and figured, so much for my 3.99 credit. Well, I got a email last month from Woodland reminding me of my credit, which was really nice. I wrote back that my layout is done as I did not use the credit since they had nothing I could use. Then I said you can do one of three things, keep the credit on your books for ever, as I probably wont be ordering any thing from them, two, write the credit off, or 3 send me a check for 3.99. I thank them very much for taking care of me with my product problem, but I do not see anything from them I can use in the future. And what ever they did was fine with me, including just writing it off, as I know having accounts open messes up things. Well today in the mail they sent me a US Postal Money order for 3.99!!! That goes back into the Bank of Dingburg. However Hugo heard about this windfall and getting a basket of apples with it from the farm stand. They wont taste like sugar, since they are made out of clay by me. Mike Marmer now minus his 3.99 thanks to Hugo.

I was interested as the trucking company is from Preston, MD a very small town on the eastern shore of Maryland and you used to see these trucks a lot up and down the east coast and maybe westward. Linda grew up near Preston so I ordered one since it might remind her of her roots. However, she could not wait to leave the Eastern shore as a kid. Because it was really desolated. I also got a Carolina truck, along with a Swift Premium food truck since I was in the food business for 25 years, a truck that was in Bangor Maine, Coles? as we go to Maine every October. A few others including a finally needed 1965 Police car in S to keep the town of Dingburg, MD also known as the D&K RR Company town, under control while Hugo runs amuck with bribes from every business in town. So, the total of the order was 103.00. So with my order and then buying a hair dryer at Target this week for 20, since the new one, a Conair died in less then a year, has got things rolling again in the town of Dingburg MD USA. So thanks to our friends north of the border all is well again. Mike Marmer [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
