1986
Hamburg's first Train-King

It was an afternoon in the summer of 1986 when Cisco , Jerk and Chuck from the crew "The Magnificent Crowns" took the S-Bahn to Bergedorf to spray paint an S-Bahn in the yard. The way to the train was usually child's play back then: in Bergedorf, for example, you walked through a small forest, climbed over a waist-high, rusty wire and stood at the train. Jerk started on the far left that day, Chuck on the far right. Meanwhile, Cisco took care of the carriage in the middle. His plan: Hamburg's probably first one-man end-to-end.

The fact that he painted a first-class carriage of all things could be described as programmatic. Because it was pieces like this that made it clear to the scene who the "Kings in Town" were in 1986: There is the crown and the "Medusa head" on the left, the complex style (with bright yellow blocks and "Bodé character" as the "i") in the middle and the policeman character and a TMC style on the far right: In 1986, the then 17-year-old Cisco set standards in train writing in Hamburg - and probably nationwide too.

He was Hamburg's first writer to consistently paint trains. Nobody knows how many there are today, because unfortunately many of the photos have not survived the test of time. Cisco has his crew colleague Jerk to thank for the fact that this train - probably the first train of this quality in Hamburg - has been preserved for posterity in such a high-quality photo. "A few days after the event, I sat down at the main station with my mother's SLR camera and waited," he remembers. At some point the time had come: an S21, probably Hamburg's first "one-man E2E", rolled in.
