What is the significance of the "Lord Oliver Brown" locomotive's maiden voyage, and what immediate impact does it have?

The restored steam locomotive, "Lord Oliver Brown", completed its first journey in 17 years on Sunday, coinciding with what would have been Oliver Brown's 17th birthday. Oliver, who died at age 11 from Myelodysplastic Syndrome, a rare childhood disease, was remembered by hundreds of people gathered at the Plym Valley Railway station. The locomotive's hot pink paint and green shades represent Oliver's favorite color and Children's Hospice South West, respectively.
