I recently had a Lionel HO Challenger to stop working after derailing going over a turnout. After Lionel repaired it I noticed the work order stated "replaced blown electronics" I assumed this was caused by a voltage spike that I have read about that can happen when a engine jumps the track and shorts out. After contacting Tony's Electronics about purchasing something from them to protect against this happening again I was advised to use one of their Power Shield circuit boards in each district or with each booster for protection. They also make a combo Power Shield and Reversing unit combo. Does anyone out there have any experience with the product's or any suggestions? I'm using the NCE Power Pro-R 5 watt system with one extra 5 watt booster and 2 districts with a reversing Wye. I assume I would need 3 boards one for each booster and one for the Wye.. Thanks Bill
