Here is a question for those of you who have seen the movie, Toy Story 3. I
haven’t yet, but hope to, soon.
The question is: Is the 7597 the exact
same toy in the movie (that is, does Andy own LEGO set #7597), or is set 7597
LEGO’s version of the LEGO set in the movie?

No. That is, I don’t think so. The train features in a “make believe” scene at
the start of the movie, and the version we see at this time looks VERY
different from the LEGO set. Not only is there a coal car, but there are at
least three passenger cars where the set only has one. I’m not sure they’re
even built to the same general dimensions. Unfortunately, when the scene
transitions back to Andy’s bedroom, I didn’t think to watch for the train to see
if he even has one, or how closely it matches the LEGO set if he does. However,
given how similarly sized all the LEGO Toy Story characters are, it would only
make sense if the LEGO set is meant to represent the “real” train in the opening
scene and not any toy version that Andy might own (e.g. Hamm...er, Evil Dr.
Porkchop, should be at least as big as the train engine, assuming it was
ultimately based on a Lionel model).

| (...) Yes, I have seen this scene on (URL). I figured that this was Andy's imagination version of himself playing with his toys. (...) Now, check out the official trailer (URL) at :17. You can see the train set on the floor, if however briefly. (...) (14 years ago, 19-Jul-10, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
