David Ogilvie Engineering is progressing with work on a £60,000 refurbishment project in Aberdeen.

The contractor is restoring the former Mr Therm train, a popular children's attraction at Seaton Park, and the scheme is on schedule to be finished in the next few weeks.

The project is being carried alongside Friends of Seaton Park out as part of the council's £130,000 investment to revamp the park.


David Ogilvie, Managing Director of the engineering firm, said: "We have been delighted to be part of Mr Therm’s refurbishment.

"Originally built in Kilmarnock by Andrew Barclay & Sons, all our staff have taken a great interest and enjoyment in watching the extensive works come together bit by bit. Although the rejuvenation work still continues on Mr Therm, we all look forward to the day when once again the locomotive will look grand and stand proudly back in Seaton Park for all to see."
