The 75069 Fund
The 75069 Fund owns BR Standard 4MT No 75069. It was also responsible for bringing BR 25771 Corridor Second onto the SVRSevern Valley Railway.
Railway Herald magazine reported on 7 November 2011 that the Fund is one of three similar funds operating on the SVRSevern Valley Railway. An initial group of 18 members formed The Ivatt Class 4 Group to purchase LMS Ivatt Class 4 43106, a larger group formed The Passenger Tank Fund to purchase BR Riddles 4MT 80079, before a still larger group formed The 75069 Fund. It reported a special meeting of The Passenger Tank Fund had been arranged for 30 October 2011 to discuss and vote on a proposed sale of the locomotive to Mr Jeremy Hosking with a view to the sale proceeds being applied to The 75069 Fund.[1] No such sale took place.
The fund also is a minor shareholder of Severn Valley Railway (Holdings) PLC.[2]
