Our good mate EdinFocus sent us through a bunch of photos of something that had a mass of Melbourne graffiti aficionados talking, and crowding, down at Collingwood over the weekend.

The second part of ITN Architects (following on from The Hive apartments) three part graffiti inspired project, the End To End building envisaged three of Melbournes old  Hitachi cars atop a grand building down at Easey street in Collingwood. An ambitious project that I loved as soon as I heard about it.

I headed down to Collingwood on Sunday to see the first of the trains being lifted up onto the building – and what a sight it was! A huge Hitachi car rolled up into the street, and one of the largest portable cranes I’ve ever seen hoisted it up onto the roof. Come Sunday, the other two cars were also placed up onto the building, where they have created tracks to keep it in place. Absolutely amazing, architect Zvi Belling really has helped to create something grand.

Check out all of EdinFocuses photos below – cheers again to Ed for some dope flicks! There’s a bunch more also over at Dean Sunshines blog.

Also check out the video from Dean Sunshine of the train being lifted – nice.

Now the question is – how long until it gets hit? Will it get hit? Rumour is that the trains are to be painted anyways … god I cant wait to see who they get to do that!!
