Description

Reverend Andrew Dow is initially seen demonstrating his 'talent' for impersonating trains while in the pulpit at Saint Paul's. He then convinces a reticent John Swallow to join him on a 'motorbike trip' to the railway station. The reverend makes the sound of the motorbike while sitting on a bench, warns John to "hold tight" and by the magic of television they are both transported to a station platform when he performs the sound of a freight train drawn by a steam locomotive.
