Puffer train driver's tea ... (10)

I believe the answer is:

advertiser

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

'puffer' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'train driver's tea' is the wordplay.
'train' indicates an anagram (to train can mean to grow something into a shape).
'drivers'+'tea'='driverstea'
'driverstea' with letters rearranged gives 'ADVERTISER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for advertiser that I've seen before include "Promoter" , "He promotes" , "Part of a newspaper's title" , "who does the plugging" , "One publicising a product (S, not Z)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
