I still run two ROW transformers on my layout today. In my opinion the greatest power supply ever.

No question about it! That powerhouse has yet to be surpassed in the world of O gauge model railroading.

You might want to amend that to say commercially available. I have three of these. Tim, the tool man, Taylor eat your heart out.

Could one "upgrade" an existing ROW transformer with 10a breakers?

Lou, I am still looking for a make before break momentary switch capable of at least ten amps. This one doesn't have a direction button either. It was built to power conventional trains drawing more than tens amps (quad pullmor TMCC with ten incandescent lighted passenger cars) on the modular layout. The wimpy Z-4000s couldn't handle the load. For TMCC, Direct Lockons protect the engines and provide fast response.
