The biggest issue is that, because they don't want people taking them apart, Lionel uses oddly shaped triangular indented screws that require a similar type screwdriver to remove, which most people don't have (available at Harbor Freight and Amazon as I recall). Other than that, replacing a blown fuse is pretty straightforward for anyone with basic mechanical/electrical skills.
Obviously, getting another transformer as was described above is the other option. It's like racing - speed costs money, how fast do you want to go ?
