I want to run a TMCC diesel loco in conventional mode on a small 4x8 layout powered by a new Lionel 6-37947 GW-180 watt transformer/controller. I will not be using remote control TMCC or Legacy and no PowerMasters. Do I need anything special when connecting the GW-180 to the Fastrack to protect against power surges and frying the locomotive's circuitry, or does the circuit breaker in the GW-180 provide sufficient protection? Keeping it simple. Thanks for advice.
