Yes, I have seen this scene on YouTube. I figured that this was Andy’s imagination version of himself
playing with his toys.

Yup, pretty much. Note the track up on the Tinker-Toy bridge, which plays an
important role in the make-believe opening.

Now, check out the official trailer
HERE at :17. You can see the
train set on the floor, if however briefly. Looks like the coach has 4
wheeled bogies, and the loco also appears to have a tender. I just wonder if
there is a better shot of it during the movie which might show more
conclusively.

Ah, if only they had pause buttons in movie theaters... Okay, here’s what I can
see at 0:15 (better moment, right after they zoom in a bit, but right before
Molly toddles into the frame). The caboose is the same size as the passenger
car, which is not the case on the LEGO model. All of the three cars have the
same wheel-base, but the caboose is four studs (almost 33%) shorter at the
doors. The cupola also appears to be centered, where the LEGO version is offset
by one stud. The passenger car looks like it might be entirely, or at least
mostly green. The LEGO version is brown with green doors and windows only. The
engine has thicker yellow bands that are closer together than the LEGO version
has on its boiler. Also, the piston cylinders look like they’re solid yellow
(LEGO is red), the smoke stack is solid black (LEGO is dark-bley on top), and
there’s something like a small cupola on the engine’s roof as well (not on the
LEGO version). So, there’s some serious differences between Andy’s train and
the LEGO TS3 train. Short of getting an official model photo from Pixar, an
accurate redesign would be a lot easier after the DVD comes out.

You might be right here. Pity. It would have been cool to have Andy play with
the actual 7597. Maybe cooler still, though, is that Andy is an KABOB and
creates his own MOCs:-)

There is a point where I noted that LEGO or DUPLO stuff does play a role in the
movie, but I’ve only watched it once and I can’t remember what it involved.
Don’t think it was the train, though...
