Presumably the former, Eric -
As noted on that other thread, "Steam Dummies" = "Foamers" - but IIRC all of the Seven Curmudgeons who have signed up to film and/or star in 'Georgianatown and the Seven Foamers' * are still with us. SFAIK, none of them have yet been mummified, stuffed and mounted on appropriate plinths, converted to dark olive green marmalade, or otherwise preserved - even though several of their associates and fellow-travelers have been memorialized on bronze plaques placed in the depots at Antonito, N.M. and Chama, CO.
