NTS&B Debug power ammeter added

I have had multiple problems with transformer breakers dropping out at too low of a current.  I therefore decided to add a 10 amp ammeter to the layout.  I also purchased a 15 amp one in case 10 amps was not high enough.  I didn't want to add a meter to every track, so I decided it to add it to the debug track instead.  That way I could switch in the debug track, and know exactly how much current a curtain train was pulling.   I wanted it easily visible, so I mounted it with the mainline control panel. Here is what the mounted meter looks like.
