I am planning to convert AC voltage from a Marx 1669 transformer to DC voltage to the track with an AC/DC to DC voltage converter. Should I consider installing in-line fuses between the transformer and voltage converter as a safeguard to the voltage converter?

it really could not hurt, at least if you got a short the fuse would blow instead of burning up your ac transformer ! plus if you use an ac transformer and with a ac to dc full wave bridge and the bridge was to short the fuse would protect the transformer!
Thanks for your input, Alan. I guess it is always better to be safe than sorry.
