The attached picture is NOT photoshopped. This car really exists here in North Florida.......... This photo was taken by a good friend of mine yesterday and leads me to ask the question, "could I replicate this on the side of a boxcar?' The short answer is no. At least not freehand. The solution is a full size decal. So I have ordered some decal paper and we will see if I can make it look anywhere as good as whoever had enough time and energy to do the full size painting.

That's all we need! Classically trained artist's using rolling stock as a blank canvas!

Great picture by the way.

Not a fan, I just call it vandalism. Might as well model thieves stripping cable from
the trackside or lowlife putting obstructions on the rails.

Trouble is, its this sort of thing rail Companies world wide are up against.

You really have to see this to believe it

What utter scum bags:

Deutsche Bahn are now using drones to try and catch them. Alas they are not allowed to arm them with missiles

That video is shocking, the passengers must have felt very insecure when that was going on.
I think a few trains with a good few plain clothed armed officers of the law on board would end up being a good deterrent

cheers John.
