The double crossover is not to bad to do. You may need a relay to change the polarity of the 4 isolated rails around the diamond. Other than that. Pretty straight forward from what I remember. It’s a lot easier to solder all your wires at the workbench. I attached a wire to every isolated rail. Not the switch points. You may not need all of them. But they are there just in case. The turnouts I just used 18 gauge wire. The newer locos with multiple pickup rollers and steamers featuring axle wipers work really well at finding a rail somewhere with power.
If you have Ross ready switches. They should have jumper bars across the rails. Not sure about feeder wires and I’m guessing switch motors already installed.
