Steam trains to change course - this will upset him! (13)
I believe the answer is:
stationmaster
'course this will upset him' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'steam trains to change' is the wordplay.
'change' indicates an anagram.
'steam'+'trains'+'to'='steamtrainsto'
'steamtrainsto' anagrammed gives 'STATIONMASTER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stationmaster that I've seen before include "Railway official" , "Railway employee" .)
