Toy vehicles and craft around smaller map (5,3)

I believe the answer is:

train set

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

'toy vehicles' is the definition.
'train set' can be an answer for 'toy' (train set is a type of toy). I am unsure of the 'vehicles' bit.

'craft around smaller map' is the wordplay.
'craft' becomes 'art' (both can mean cunning or trickery).
'around' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'smaller map' becomes 'inset' (I've seen this before).
'art' written backwards gives 'tra'.
'tra'+'inset'='TRAIN-SET'

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for train set that I've seen before include "Model tracking" , "Nitrates (anag) - Hornby product?" , "Toy for dads?" , "Toy with rail track" , "Layout with engines" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
