Eggesford box Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 But today is just grey and miserable. The boxes are still there, no one has graffitied any of the units and shortly I will be on my travels checking drains. Yo Ho Ho! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eggesford box Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Looks like I spoke to soon, looking out from the office at a heavily graffitied unit in platform 4. Done at 11 o clock last night apparently. Once it gets fully light going to look for any evidence as perps where disturbed by security staff and ran off down tracks. I know what I would like to do to them, no goodwill to all mankind here! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted December 27, 2012 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 27, 2012 Has this happened in orevioys years at Banbury. No plans ti add graffiti to my Farish units though! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggesford box Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Has this happened in orevioys years at Banbury. No plans ti add graffiti to my Farish units though! I cannot recall any other occasions of units being graffitied at Banbury as Big Jim has said they have made a mess of it. So that is a unit taken out of service with trains being cancelled or short formed and diagrams having to be altered. None of which these so called 'artists' would have thought or cared about. Just a worthless, selfish excuse for humanity, I know what I would like to do to them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted December 28, 2012 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 28, 2012 Need a dislike button for that. Grafitti on Czech trains used to be bad but this visit we have not seen any so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 That must have taken some time to paint - several hours even if they had planned it all out... Best, Pete. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Robert Shrives Posted December 28, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 28, 2012 Hi gang , saw tagged unit yesterday - shame nobody saw fit to hid it away asap even if behind another unit in sidings to stop the advert for the "excellent" security and the t**ts that did the evil crminal deed. As noted festive cheer removed for the criminals Robert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted December 28, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 28, 2012 probably no one to move it out of the way, it went to aylesbury sometime in the afternoon. yesterday was chaos without the added problems of grafitti'd units, so busy it was unbelievable, my 4 car 168 to london was full and standing by the time we left solihull! seemed to be ok today apart from a failure of the loco set in marylebone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 40-something Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 (edited) I am a fan of GrafArt, having been involved in it myself in my youth (we never done trains back then, just vacant property - not that it makes it right). I doubt the folk that done this would realise the chaos this would cause, and the cost of putting it right. This seems to be a tribute to a late friend of the artists. We done a 'piece' like this on a building many many moons ago (must have been 1989 or so) in tribute to a friend that had been killed. The building stood empty for a number of years and when it was re-occupied the whole building was repainted, but they didnt paint over the 'piece'. One of my friends approached the owner and asked why it wasnt painted over and he was told that the owner liked it and guessed it was done as a tribute. It still stands to this day, faded now of course. That must have taken some time to paint - several hours even if they had planned it all out... Best, Pete. It would surprise you Pete how quickly these throw-ups can be done, a talented group of artists (I defend the right to call them artists) could do this in little more than 15 mins.

RMweb Gold big jim Posted December 28, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 28, 2012 as annoying as graffiti is causing damage, disruption etc there are some fantastic piees of art out there, there was a cracking one on the entrance to chaddesden sidings of a black guys face with his eyes shut, looked quite eerie at night, also on the run down to ironbridge there were 3 lifesize skulls on a bridge parapet, again aproaching at night and them being picked out in the headlight made me jump on more than one occassion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
