Big Mike G,
No need to have the wires the same length, that was a fallacy and proven incorrect a long time ago. Just remember to set up your DCS layout in blocks, no more than 13 Track joins to any one block, in fact I limit most of mine to 10 Joins. Use as many long track pieces in your layout as you possibly can, its the Track joins that degrade your DCS signal, not the actual length of the track. Your DCS TIU Red Channel wire goes to the mid rail, DCS TIU Black drops to the outside rail. If you are running Legacy, run one Legacy drop from the outside Black DCS TIU Black Post, to a outside Track Rail. Then run a Legacy Drop directly from the Legacy Base unit, to the opposite outside rail, from the original DCS/Legacy Drop. This gives you a strong double sided Legacy signal. In this manner your DCS should also have nearly a 10 signal all around your layout. Pay no attention to the signal strength at your switches.
