A genius plot... Redfern Workshop 2006

Possibly one of the last "clean" Grey Ghost cars in captivity.
It was securely marshalled behind tight weldmesh with not
even enough room to squeeze your body in between comfortably..
Situated right on the Mainline at Redfern outside the old
maintenance sheds we thought it was a good idea to
just massacre the fence to access the virgin mammoth..
Which all sounded well and good.. But pretty fucked up.
On arrival after assessing the assignment we realised
we could cut our labour in half by clipping the wire that secured
the mesh in place and then cut a few uprights and lift it..
The whole length of the car..
Now about 20 metres and an hour or more into the mission
we needed some steel poles to support the weight of it..
Hah!!
Found some freakishly located close by, so we propped
up the tent and let the circus begin..
We had to cut it into
8ft lengths cause it was far to heavy and buckled the supports...
The thought of so many kilos of steel looming over your head
made you a little nervous but this bitch was now ours
for the taking...




























Seccos came really close by in the building next door and startled
us, so we dropped the fence and left, stashed our paint on the lines
and noticed 5.0 sweeping the massive vacant lot with spotties
towards the back of this old yard (we were now outside)..
We crept passed and got to the safety of the car.
As we hit the lights and pulled out, 5.0 drove into the darkened
street we were in, did a u-turn and followed us for about 6 blocks..
They hooked it off, so we headed to the other side of
Redfern back
on track to finish..
I was
buggin about the surface, with vents, boxes and hand rails,
so different from a
Briso rattler or the standard ridges on an
EMU/
SMU car..
Next thing was like "
Fark, it's like 8am, the suns fully up!!"
Services are all go for the new day and we were still
fuckin
around doing do-dads.. Time to jet..
So we head back up to
Redfern Platform not even ducking from
trains..
This piece of decaying
machinery now brought to life, sat there
for 2 years untouched bringing joy to thousands of commuters
daily..

Until one day it disappeared without a trace...

Bluelline - 2006

Seemso visited and got the pleasure of sleeping on my
floor for a weekend, no mattress, just a sheet and a pillow..
We were full swing into the Bline Krush campaign,
fuelled on 3 square meals of MacD's and Hungrys for
2 days. Every night we took to the lines painting, and
every day racing around getting flicks.















When we bailed into here, at the last minute i thought
we got spotted by security.. I sort of flipped out as i was
climbing
over the fence and launched myself onto the
other side to quickly get onto the trackside out of sight,
stupidly not noticing a train on approach, i looked up to
see the driver jump out of his seat as he spotted me. If he
wasn't on the opposite track i would of absolutely shit
bricks cause there is only about a 6ft gap between the
siding and the rails..
We left and come back later as trains were going slow with
the obvious report out of some idiot jumping onto the lines..
The so called secco was a couple of drunks having a leak
behind the buildings..
We all lived happily ever after...

Gathered part of the crew to hit under a bridge near the station..
There was a bit of pedestrian activity from above but
i don't think there were many trains running at the time..
Got down with the Gods & the bfunk and cracked these out...














































Doonside -
The all weather BW classics easily ankle deep.
It was raining constantly.
Me and Area headed way to on the
Westline, out past Blacktown.
It had been raining quite heavily that week and en route it
seemed to have stopped. Soon as we got to the spot it started
pouring again. We were already there
on the lines so "fuckit!!"
I tried to stretch over the ditch but only lasted 20 minutes before
almost wading shin deep for another 20 finishing up..
The next morning he let me borrow a lovely pair of red shox..
(I hate red) I tried numerous times to click my heels
to get home but still ended up on the ghetto limosuine..
