Reply to "Getting MTH PS3 steam to Coast (in Conventional)"

So, at this point am I correct in saying that the drivetrain in question is not the most awesome to allow the engine to coast to a stop, but that the same exact drive drain (gears, motors, flywheels, etc) DOES coast to a satisfactory amount on engines with the PS2 electronics.  

Under that assumption, does anyone have some photos of the PS2 and PS3 boards in use?  I know that in at least one of these relays are used to switch the power control to the motor(s) and am curious if the other uses semiconductors instead to form the H-Bridge. (Triacs, FETs, Transistors, etc.) The semiconductor method naturally floats the motor where it would not cause substantial breaking, where as a relay H-Bridge would when wired in typical fashion.  

Before hypothesizing further I'd like to see the boards in question just to get an idea of the components in use.
