Two-ton lorry ultimately somehow resembling miniature? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

toytown

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

'miniature?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'two-ton lorry ultimately somehow' is the wordplay.
'ultimately' says to take the final letters.
'somehow' indicates an anagram.
The final letter of 'lorry' is 'y'.
'two'+'ton'+'y'='twotony'
'twotony' with letters rearranged gives 'TOYTOWN'.

'resembling' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for toytown that I've seen is " Larry the Lamb's home".)
