Hello MM,
Sorry a bit of a Brit insider joke.
The relationship between British vicars and Steam engines goes back a long way. The Rev.W.V. Audry would be the most famous (Thomas the Tank Engine) but you will find the title Rev. attached to the names on many historic photographs, documentary tomes, childrens books and Railway Preservation Society memberships.
Although there have been many an hypothesis on this relationship I believe that unlike the celibate Catholic Priest a married Protestant Vicar is not going to get away with sitting around the house all week being holy.
Tony.
