Reply to "Paint Creek Railroad"

So once again, I am confused and need help from those that know a lot more than me.  When I my had a layout years ago, I used Lionel tubalur track.  I used what I believe was the home run or star method of wiring and connected the hot and common to a piece of track within each block.  My understanding was that it didn't matter which outside rail was used because they were connected by the metal pieces holding the track together.  I am now using Ross/Gargraves track and when I look at it, it doesn't appear to me that two outside rails are connected.  So when I wire up the layout for track power, do I have to run common to both outside rails?
