As long as i dont cross my red and black wires, does i matter if i am inconsistent in placing my lockons on either side of the track?

The two outer rails are connected electrically, so it the placement doesn't matter as long as wire placement is consistent.
Keith,

That's incorrect as regards MTH RealTrax. The two outside rails are not connected.
I didn't see that this was under the Mth forum. For some reason, I was thinking that Marty was talking about Lionel tubular track. It's probably because I was working with that track for the last couple hours on my Christmas layout.
Everyone. Thanks, I wasn't clear.
Barry, all,
Does that change the answer, especially on a figure 8?

It sounds stupid (even to me). But some background. This is my 4th Christmas with DCS. The rest of the year I dabble in N scale.
I have a goal of not blowing out a channel during setup. The 1st 2 year, MTH did the repair. The third yr, GG1 gave it an overhaul. This year, I have the 1st loop set up and have run all 4 channels with no issues. I will ask the dumb questions, but I'm just hoping for a relatively small miracle, as I now have 4 independent loops and hope to have up to 2 running conventional.
Thank you
