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 track, engines and carriages are fully compatible between
both ranges, the differences are in design detail.
How old is your son? I ask this because the newer train sets are aimed at
slightly younger children than the older ones (though I believe the stated
age ranges are the same). There are more miscellaneous bricks in the 2000
series, less detail, and the modular design of the cargo boxes/carriages are
made for littler hands but are not very interesting for the older child (or
fussy AFOL).
I'm not sure where I'd draw the line agewise, I guess it'd also vary from
child to child.
Personally I'd buy the 2745 cargo train if you can still get it, (but then
I'm a fussy AFOL with an older child). If you can't, or the design is not an
issue for you, rest assured the 2933 is still a very good train set.

| (...) Thank you very much for the information Deidre. My son is very much in the younger range. He turns 1 in a week. I've talked my mother-in-law into buying the train for Christmas so he'll be 1 1/2 by then. The suggested age on the box is 3+. (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jul-01, to lugnet.duplo)
