Retractable Undercarriage

Chaps,

Just looking for a bit of insight from those of us that fly smaller aircraft with retractable undercarriage, such as the A109.

Do the nose wheels simply castor? If so is the castoring degree of freedom generally lockable for start-up and shut down, or the machines rely on the rear wheel brakes to prevent fuselage yaw on the ground during start-up?

Many thanks,
CRAN
