'train set removed from tea chest?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'train set removed from tea chest?' is the wordplay.
'train' is an anagram indicator (to train can mean to grow something into a shape).
'removed from' is a deletion indicator.
'tea'+'chest'='teachest'
'teachest' with 'set' taken away is 'achet'.
'achet' with letters rearranged gives 'TEACH'.
