The men, part of a gang known as AMF, allegedly caused more than $140,000 damage to trains and railways stations, according to a report in the Herald Sun.
The group's "trophy pictures" sometimes covered whole carriages of trains, British news services reported.
Scott Mulhearn, 21, Adrian Hing, 22, Luke Vassell, 23, Jack Shumack, 24, Alex Wisman, 24, and Marcus Wisman, 22, appeared in Southwark Court in southeast London yesterday.
All have pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit criminal damage between July 31 and December 27 last year.
Police on patrol had busted the gang near an east London railway in the early hours of Boxing Day after hearing the rattle of cans and smelling paint.
The officers called for back-up and gave chase, arresting Hing, Vassell, Mulhearn and the Wisman brothers.
Shumack was arrested after police reviewed CCTV footage from the area.
The gang was accused of causing more than $30,000 damage on Boxing Day alone.
The men were remanded in custody until sentencing on June 17.
