What size/type of circuit breaker do I need?
#5
The speed control says 2.5A, so I would go with that (if you can find one).
This should be put in one of the output lines from the controller -- last thing before the wires going to the track. Either side.
Another protection is a car tail-light bulb in series with the track. This gives you a visible indicator and you can sometimes even see how your current varies.

You could put 3A breaker before the controller, just in case.

In model railroading, there are between six and two hundred ways of performing a given task.
Most modellers can get two of them to work.
