Lloyd,
See my earlier post. The answer is of course yes, trains do it all the time. With the Victor braking, there is no provision. It puts a dead short across the motor. Until the new rule about custom circuit boards was introduced, there was no option. Under the new rules I think there is some possibility but I would be wary of judges decisions during inspection. Under the current rules, (and if I was a judge) I don't think it would be allowed.
