1014 County of Glamorgan

Not yet - no one has mentioned liveries yet...

 

That's probably only because even fans of other railways know that green with brass trinkets is de rigueur for GWR locos.

There that's fixed the lack of livery debate part of the thread.

 

More just decals and lining than liveries per se .....

 

The fat lady hasn't started singing yet

Not sure what the climax of the greatest of all artistic masterpieces of any genre has to do with this subject. Unless of course you are going to focus on the overall message of Der Ring, which is that to try to grasp power by stealing it will corrupt and destroy everything, and the only way to wellness is to return to what lay before.

 

Greatest? Subjective, at best. Potentially worrying too, given the infamy of that composer's No.1 fan. In any event, how, pray, do you you apportion any innate non-monetary value to art, if it's purpose is other than to hold a mirror up to society?

(Wanders off, humming "I killed the wabbit ......")

 

Let's just say that "No. 1 fan" didn't really get much of the point of the Ring.

I'll agree that it is a subjective judgement, but stand by my view that the Ring is the greatest single artistic achievement, measured by a combination of craft, genius and imagination. And, like all great art, it takes it's audience into different places every time they encounter it (I'm at 5 cycles and a standalone Valkyrie so far). None of which is about whether or not it holds a mirror up to society, although the Ring certainly does.

And, for @mdewell, are we far enough off topic yet

 

The Germans are well known for their brutality. Their Operas last 3-4 days

 

Only some of them, and they’re the best ones

Can't think of anything worse to listen to personally. It's just awful noise

 

Have Liz and Kwasi heard that?

 

Can't believe this is still going. I've bee biting my lip for hours. Have our mods dozed off?

 

A Charlie Chaplin movie? (To continue the earlier joke)

 

More likely numb with horror.

 

The content of this thread is starting to mirror the prototypicality of the thread’s title…

 

Actually l quite welcome this thread drift as its keeping the new County up in the NP news !

 

Do it black. There, liveries mentioned!

 

Not so fast ....... lined, or ..... unlined?

 

Lined, so it looks like it's from a proper railway like the LNWR or L&Y

 

Okey dokey ..... At this point, I'm bravely getting out of the way on this one and leaving it to you Ssindonites and Horwichsters to sort it out .....

 

Well, considering they painted a Bullied purple and a Hall red, why not express passenger blue?
Definitely be noticed!
