Yes, it is. The switch mechanism works by pressing the button down and
slightly forward, in order to lock it in "on" position. To disconnect, you
have to press the button slightly backwards, and then the spring should lift
the button alone.
It works without pressing it forward, but only while you're pressing down.

Perhaps you can combine both things: suppose you put the battery box (always
"on") in the interior of the wagon, connected by a short wire to the switch
on the roof; this way you manage to grant control of the battery power at
will. The downside is the increased weight on the wagon.
But even this is not necessary with a locomotive, the wire can be linked
directly to the motor - which is easier, even though I have no idea of what
the outcome may be!
HTH,
