How / Where to book train ticket direct from chennai to Ooty?

Question

I have booked my train journey ticket from Chennai Central (Madras) to Mettupalayam (enroute to Ooty). To reach Ooty, I have to catch the toy train run between Mettupalayam & Ooty. Pls advise whether it is possible to book a train ticket in chennai itself for this toy train journey?

Is any preference given for passengers of Nilgris (Blue Mountain) Express to procure tickets of this toy train at Mettupalayam? Because to my knowledge, the time gap between the arrival of Nilgris Express & departure of toy train is only 45 minutes....! Pls spare your experience / knowledge.... Thanks...
