I run one set under the track to the other side of the main loops, each of the loops has about 50 feet of track.  I get minimal voltage drop around the loop, about 1 volt according to my voltage measuring car.  It's all command as a rule, unless I'm testing someone's conventional locomotive.  It's not optimum bus wiring, but it is a temporary carpet layout...
