And be sure to use at least 16 gauge wire when using 10 amps on your layout

I don't agree.  For that amperage, I recommend 14-gauge.

I agree with PCRR/Dave to use breakers.  I get mine from Defender Marine. Over the course of time, breakers are cheaper.  I use external breakers on all transformers, for redundancy, and, by using smaller breakers, sized to cover maximum expected loads.  They blow faster on a derailment.  I find 5 amp & 7 amp to be adequate, butr don't use smoke
