The Santa Express waits at Bishops Lydeard Station on the West Somerset Railway.
7812 Erlestoke Manor was preparing to begin the journey to Williton.
It was the first of three services the GWR 7800 Class locomotive hauled on Saturday.
Erlestoke Manor returned to action recently following mechanical issues.
The loco missed the railway's Autumn Steam Weekend and underwent repairs.
It returned to service a few days later but suffered another setback, prompting further investigations and repairs at Minehead.
Erlestoke Manor was built in Swindon and completed in 1939.
The loco was based in Bristol, Newton Abbot, Plymouth, Oswestry and Shrewsbury before being withdrawn in 1965 and sent to a scrapyard in Barry.
It was moved to the Severn Valley Railway in 1976 and restored by 1979, remaining in service either side of a lengthy withdrawal between 1985 and 2008.
The Santa Express runs on four further dates between now and Christmas – 20, 21, 23 and 24 December.
