Ha Ha Ha,.. Funny That,.. I was thinking that You might be very interested by it !!
Almost sent you a PM, so glad you have seen it.
Looks Interesting
Would definitely Need to do some careful 'Matching' utilizing Three Transistors.

I was wondering with the millions of audio amps that are unable to drive parallel output transistors without emitter resistors, how slot car controllers were able to achieve it.
I don't believe it will actually work properly but with matching probably works *good enough* that nobody notices.
JCS100, the circuit designer, does do thorough on bench testing and measuring as well as real world testing on the track, so I do feel confident the circuit will work.
