[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by trainfinder22</i> <br /><br />2.Even Steam engines has some form of Dynamic Braking[/quote] <br /> <br />Ummm -- hello? Unless i'm rather confused, dynamic braking involves using the traction motors as generators and then dumping the resulting current into Great Big resistor loads. (On trolley lines, the dynamic brakes pump power back into the line). <br /> <br />I question if this would be possible while current is being applied to drive the motors; and i have never seen or heard of a steam locomotive with traaction engines.
