I'm using an old Lionel RW Postwar transformer to power a bunch of accessories. I have read a lot about using TVS and a Breaker on Postwar Transformers when using them to power modern engines but do I also need those when using this transformer for accessories?

What sort of accessories? If it’s just a bunch light bulbs, no. Postwar? No.

Yeah, just a few led lights inside buildings and postwar accessories like the floodlight tower, rotating beacon and freight station.
