}}[[File:Standard class 4MT 75069 at Hastings, Ashford 150.jpg|thumb|300px|right|75069 at Hastings circa 1992]]'''75069 ''' is a BR Standard 4MT 4-6-0 locomotive designed by R.A. Riddles. The Standard 4MT was designed for mixed traffic use on secondary routes where the BR Standard Class 5 and its predecessor, the ‘Black Five’, would be too heavy.
==75069 in service==
75069 was one of the final batch allocated to the BR Southern Region, which were built with a larger tender giving greater coal and water capacity but with the same route restrictions as the Standard Class 5.
