[QUOTE="Trainz, post: 1275546, member: 2122"] To give you an example, I'll post the description of the third city above (the one with the Titan): ======================================== [font=Arial][size=1][font=Arial]A very special city, it is also known as the City of [/font][font=Arial]Mirrors[/font][font=Arial].
