WIRING HEADACHES

I just ripped all the wiring out. Seven hours down the drain. Is there some way I can post a drawing of this area of the layout that I am wiring so you can see the track and maybe help me decide where to put feeders and gaps? <br /> <br />I know where I need to gap the rails but it still isn't working. I had power to a section but the siding didn't have power. Shinohara (Walthers) and Micro Engineering turnouts are power routing, right? So when I switch the track to the siding shouldn't the siding be powered? Do I have to run a feeder to the siding, and if so, can I just splice the wire into the other feeder? I don't want to have a million toggles. I put eight toggles in this section of the layout and that is plenty. UGH! I wired my entire basement with no problems, why can't I wire this? <br />Thanks, <br />John+
