Actually, that scenario would result in "fault" short circuits which bypass any transformer circuit breaker. The wider the difference in voltage settings, the higher the fault current is.  It can be very damaging.

    Once again, I think you hit the nail on the head Rob...

Back then I was running a Williams Sharknose set conventionally.  With its tall gearing, and once it got going,         6 volts to the track had the speed up to alarming rates for O36 curves and O22 switches.

I can see how a full 10 volt differential made the KW protest.
