 | | Is 2933 Duplo Freight Train worth buying? —Todd Trotter
|
| | | Hello, I'm thinking of buying my son the Duplo 2933 Freight Train. Does anyone have an opinion good or bad about this set?

| | | | | (...) Duplo trains are in general excellent sets, and are very robust. We've never broken one (the engines have been dropped rather a lot, everything has been trodden on repeatedly), and they run well. I have both the mid-90s and 2000 ranges. The (...)

| | | | | | I'd just like to agree pretty much with what Mark said (that brought back memories!), except that my son came out the other side of these almost identical reactions with an absolute love of the trains.
