Can anyone tell me if they crew of 61057 survived after the crash that caused it to be scrapped.
Looking at pictures of it awaiting a decision it would seem unlikely

Thompson B1 61057 was condemned after a collision at Marks Tey March 1950 I hope this was the info you were looking for.

Fireman was killed, as was one of the guards, the driver was seriously injured, as was another guard

No problem, Boris. Is it possible to post the picture? I don't think I've ever seen it.
I did vaguely recall that a B1 was written off fairly early when I thought about it but couldn't put my finger on which accident it was. For some reason the RI chaps didn't specify locomotive type or number in any of the reports I read. I wonder why that was?
