When wiring turnouts especially in a yard configuration. I solder wires to every isolated rail. They are for the most tied into the existing wiring. Often times creating multiples in the same block on the same terminal. I also use basically common ground wiring for the most part because that’s what was there before DCS arrived. The layout was blocked. Every 3 ft. Sections of Gargraves has feeders. I wasn’t about to re wire a large layout. Tweak Yes. Re Wire No. A lot of what I did was just clean things up. 12 gauge buss with 14 gauge feeders. Stranded automotive wire.
My advice. What ever wiring method you choose. Is test as you go along. Every section you add re test everything, fix before moving on and by all means. Don’t overthink this.
