When zooming out in the map view, it normally makes your personal train's icon independent of the zoom level. However, once you are zoomed out, when you mouse over a train station, your train size goes back to the same size as any other train on the map.

This was discovered on the Experimental release 2.0.58 build 83402, win64

Steps to reproduce:

1. Lay down a track
2. Put two locomotives and a train station
3. Switch to map view and zoom out. You can see that your train is larger than other trains

4. Hover the train station or the other train. You can see that your train icon shrinks

I don't think this is a critical issue, but it was surprising.

Hello,

Thank you for the report
I would not classify this as a bug,

When hovering a train stop, the paths of any trains on the way to that stop are highlighted,
And in this context it is not needed to emphasise the location of the player locomotive, and it would block visibility of the train paths drawn below.

This is similar to when selecting other trains, they are highlighted and the player train is drawn normally.
