Besides the TVS diodes get an ATO fuse holder ( https://www.amazon.com/Parts-E...Holder/dp/B003N8SD9G ) and some 5, 7.5, or 10 amp ATO fuses. The fuses and holder can be picked up at any local auto parts store. Inset the fuse holder in line with the power wire to the center rail. The circuit breaker on the postwar ZW is no where near fast enough for modern trains. I run the TVS diodes and 10 amp ATO fast blow fuses between my postwar ZW and TIU. I've had no issues hurting PS2, PS3 or TMCC locomotives.
