Need some help here. I need to find out how to modify the Lionel 6-34120 Direct Lock On, so that it will trip at 360 watt/20 amp. Supposedly Lionel is coming out with a 6-82883 Legacy Powermaster that will do the same thing for $219.00.  That promise is now a year old, and still no product. Then again so are the 6-22983 Powerhouses, and the 6-81250 096 curve fastrack. Since I already have three of the direct lock on's, why not upgrade them? On the other hand, I could always wait on Lionel's "the check is in the mail" customer support policy.

I would like to reopen this question.  I would like to modify the 6-34120 Direct Lock-On to trip at 80W.  I am not worried about protecting the electronic circuits.  I am worried about protecting the plastic trucks from the heat generated by a derailment.  This was not a problem when all trucks were metal but with plastic I have had literal meltdowns by the time my ZW or KW circuit breaker trips.  I am using a ZW or KW to power my TMCC so the transformer in use is always set to maximum voltage.
