Interesting you mentioned the short circuit issue because NCE recommends the same in-line light bulb solution for "long term" short circuit protection. The built in protection is just short term - it re-energizes the power every 2-3 seconds when detecting a short. BTW, the bulb they recommend is a #1156 tail light bulb. Another advantage of the bulb for the NCE SB3 is putting it where you can see it. If you call the "front" of the SB3 the end that has the connector for the cab cable, they put the leds that show an overload on the "back" of the unit - not a great design.
