Hi Don....There are several brands out there. My favorite is here: http://www.dccspecialties.com/products/powershield_x.htm Note on their home page many other products for use with DCC installations. One of the more interesting, in my opinion, is the DCC circuit breaker intended for AC layouts such 3-rail Lionel and even gen-u-whine AC Gilbert. Yes, DCC works with AC trains although a bit of motor rewiring is needed. Hope this helps....Ed L. > "Still another solution involves the use of DCC circuit breakers that > accomplish much the same end result - grazing shorts are accommodated and do > not cause the power source to shut down.
