I am new to the hobby and creating my first layout using a new WTIU and Ross track and switches. I am using the star wiring technique, and I have read the 3rd edition of Barry Broskowitz's book. I have been soldering the the power feeders in the middle of isolated track sections. My question is how do I wire this section above that has the main line with a simple siding that comes back to the main line. Do I solder lines to the beginning of both switches and then isolate the siding and put a feeder in the middle of the siding?
I understand the switch machines themselves should be powered by a separate PSU and not powered by track DCS power. I am confused because I watched a recent video of Mike Wolf stating that sidings should have unpowered wires that begin at one section and loop back to the beginning of the siding. Wolf said DCS does not like signals "coming back". Is that only for sidings that do not come back to the main line? Thank-you.
