School group making traditional toy (5,3)

I believe the answer is:

train set

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'traditional toy' is the definition.
'train set' can be an answer for 'toy' (train set is a type of toy). I'm not certain of the 'traditional' bit.

'school group' is the wordplay.
'school' becomes 'train' (training is a kind of schooling).
'group' becomes 'set' (both can mean a collection).
'train'+'set'='TRAIN-SET'

'making' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for train set that I've seen before include "model railway" , "Toy railway" , "Strange treats in store for this model toy" , "Model tracking" , "A child might play with this" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
