The former Mr Therm train and its carriages have been re-installed at Seaton Park having undergone repairs and new painting work.
The refurbishment is part of the City Council's £130,000 spend on regenerating the Park.
David Ogilvie, managing director David Ogilvie Engineering, said: "This has been such a great project and we're very privileged to have played such a big part in Mr Therm's refurbishment.

"It's been a labour of pride for our staff based in Kilmarnock as he was originally built in Kilmarnock by Andrew Barclay & Sons so we have taken extra special care with Mr Therm.
"The reaction from the children as he's been pieced back together on site has been a joy and makes everyone's hard work and effort worthwhile."
Cllr Ross Grant added: "The work that's been carried out is top-class and the additions for the carriages which were designed by children from the local area are really striking and colourful and will really help with imaginative play."
The train was previously used for transporting coal from Aberdeen harbour. With the closure of the former gas plant in the 1970s, Mr Therm was transferred to Aberdeen Council for preservation, where the engine was placed in the play area at Seaton Park in 1974.
