What is your interpretation: I'm in a toy store as an adult. For some reason, the store gives the impression of being a cluttered london used book store (ala Harry Potter). I'm looking for some unusual toys I remember from my youth. I'm with someone, but I'm not sure who. I squeeze through a cluttered aisle into a seldom traveled section of the store. I hear revelry coming from a small darkened hallway to the left. It's all wood, and has a small fountain on the left. There is a small wooden door at the end on the right. In front of the door is a heavyset usher. He opens the door, exposing what appears to be a small private theatre with folding chairs, filled with 30 or so people. They were watching something funny, but it's over now, and they begin to stand up and file out. Whatever it was, I appear to have missed it.
Answer
>> Maybe, being in the toy store, looking for the unusual toys from your youth ~ could mean that you are searching for some aspect of yourself from your childhood you feel you may have lost, or something ~ maybe a hobby from your childhood ~ which made you happy then. ~ It may be a carefree sense of childhood fun that you feel may be lacking lately in your life or on a more concrete aspect, a hobby you enjoyed participating in.
The fountain on the left could represent the fountain of youth (or, your childhood & whatever it is that you were searching for in the toy store.) & be pointing the way toward gaining a more relaxed/fun attitude to life, you may feel unconscioiusly has been missing.
The heavyset usher may be an atitude you possess
(maybe your fear that the people you associate with on a daily basis will think differently of you if you follow your true happiness.)
that is blocking your way from gaining your happiness. Through the door is where you will regain whatever it is you may feel has been lacking lately.
What are you waiting for!
Find what it is you are looking for & go through that door!
Hope this helps. Ciao!

By Train Train Timing at Coimbatore Train Timing at Mettupalayam
Nearest broad gauge railway head is Mettupalayam (46 kms). Major broadgauge railway junction is Coimbatore. It is connected with all major cities. Mettupalayam to Ooty, is connected by a Mountain Railway which is 4 hours journey.
At a height of 2,600m stands Udhagamandalam (Ooty) the Queen of Hill Stations. The 'Nilgiri toy train' connects Ooty to Mettupalayam, at the foot of the Nilgiris.
The construction of this line was a big challenge as the terrain is rather tricky. It was in 1854 that the first plans were drawn to build a mountain railway from Mettupalayam to the Nilgiri Hills. But it was a good 45 years later in 1899 that the first train chuggd up this track. This itself is a charming blue and cream with wooden coaches and large windows. It is hauled uphill by steam engines, designed and built by the Swiss Locomotive Works. Twelve of such locomotive engines survive even today.
The train covers the 46 km to Udhagamandalam in four - and -a half hours. There are five stations between Mettupalayam and Coonoor - Kallar, Adderely, Hill Grove, Runnymede and Kateri - and, at one time, there were five between Coonoor and Ooty too. Though Wellington, Aruvakkadu, Ketti, and Lovedale are still functional, Fern Hill, the last one, was closed down a few years ago.
Extensive rice fields surround the 7km stretch between Mettupalayam and Kallar. Soon after is an impressive 21 km section through truly rocky terrain. The track passes over 26 viaducts, and twists and bends through 13 tunnels. After a steep climb, the train enters Coonoor, the little hill station known for its tea plantations. From here, the track is uphill till you reach Fern Hill at a height of 2,218m, the highest point on the railroad. Shortly before Ooty, the line dips downhill. If you enjoy taking pictures, keep your camera ready for a few shots of the viaduct between Kallar and Adderley.
This ride is sure to turn the most hardened rail critic into an avid fan. You'll delight in the edge - if -the - seat twists and turns as the train runs across tall girder bridges, and over green hills before gently meandering through rolling tea estates. The exhaust beat of the loco never falters, maintaining a deafening staccato which can be heard for miles around. Truly a journey to remember.
