Hello folks, TinMan here with our newly redesigned circuit breaker kit.
This kit is designed to be installed between the transformer and the center rails of your layout. The pictures above are suggestions as to how to install the kits to your transformer.

The problem is that by design they take way too long to open. Even with our changing to modern designed circuit breakers for the transformers we sell and refurbish, while way better than the original units, they still take to long to open.

To fix these issues we found a source for some really fast acting circuit breakers that will open much faster than the original Lionel with any short circuit. We originally offered these kits to customers with the normal auto reset breakers. These new…
