 | | New to DUPLO® Trains
|
|
Hello all, I have a few questions about DUPLO® trains. First, is there a way that the timer found in 2745 (the freight train) can be disabled? I have just received this set today and would like to run the train for more than a few minutes without (...) (23 years ago, 14-Aug-01, to lugnet.duplo)

| | Is the resurgence in Duplo buckets everywhere?
|
|
Hi all, After a few years with only one or two Duplo buckets fleetingly available in Australia, there seems to be a quite a resurgence. The S Korean factory seems to be pumping out nothing but Duplo buckets - in the past couple of months I think (...) (23 years ago, 8-Aug-01, to lugnet.duplo)

(...) Bob 1 (from Bob, Lofty and the mice), doesn't really "snap" at all. However Bob 2 (from 3276) and Wendy both do a "soft snap". If I try really really hard I can sort of pinch my skin in passing in both of these but it doesn't hurt. (...) (...) (23 years ago, 25-Jul-01, to lugnet.duplo)

Todd, I don't want to deny you your 2933 - it's great - but until your son is two then go for either DACTA Push Train 9139 or Circus Engine 2931. Supplement this with DACTA Rails 9146 (certainly in the UK this worked out cheaper than buying the (...) (23 years ago, 24-Jul-01, to lugnet.duplo)
