COCKERILL 0-4-0VBT Lucie has steamed for the first time at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.
The move follows completion of an extensive restoration by owner Paul 'Piglet' Middleton, the railway's traction and rolling stock manager.
The 1890-built locomotive moved from its previous home at the Middleton Railway in September 2017, and has since undergone a full rebuild and return to its original condition when it worked for Tramways de l'Est de Bruxelles in Belgium.
The loco made its first independent moves since late- 2000 at Grosmont on August 19, and has subsequently undergone running-in tests and trails over increasing lengths of the NYMR line.
