As long as the circuit breaker is the same rating as the original and mounted safely, the wiring to it is irrelevant.
Circuit breakers have no polarity, and do not care which leads get connected where. They will work just the same.

I picked up one of these new circuit breakers for the zw. Mine does not work any longer and I was unable to find any NOS replacements (anyone know of any?) What I want to know is, from those who have used these, do they hook up as the Lionel version? In other words, the screw mount on the bottom and the two leads are then top and bottom as the Lionel type but both on the left side rather then one out the side and the other out the top as the Lionel one does. Do I treat them the same, bottom to bottom, top to top? My gut says yes but I want to double check and my online search found nothing to show connections of any sort. Thanks. It wouldn't let me upload the picture of the new circuit breaker for some reason but I think you can see the circuit breaker by clicking on my link here : http://s1170.photobucket.com/user/70gtvert/media/circuit_1.jpg.html
