There is a whole lot of stereotyping here.  Let me ask you a question.  Does Walmart sell guns both real and toy versions? The TOY train cars in question are a legitimate expression of graffiti art , last I check spray painting toy or model cars was legal - so how this deiscussion jumps to cries of vandalism and gang insignias is beyond me.  Put another way - if these same artists are now able to receive compensation for painting toy items, t-shirts, murals, walls etc - How is that a bad thing?  Would't this legitimate activity cut down on real vandalism by providing an alternative?  It sounds like the artists here have clearly been identified - I can;t imagine that he would go down  to the local yard and bomb a train.  It seems to me that folks are reacting more to the art regardless if it is vandalism or not - this is also why you hear such negative connotations  - some of which include the gang association. I don't think this product promotes any illegal behavior any more than the guns do.
