The lockon method is unsightly and inefficient.
If you run a large enough pair of bus wires, and solder on smaller gauge short feeders to various track locations, using either soldered connections or the "male crimp-on connector into the rail slot" method, you will get the best results.
Wiring is one part of your layout where you don't want to cut corners, or you will be doing it over again. I used Arthur's method above, using #12 stranded wire and have had excellent results. Trains maintain steady speed all the way around.
