How did you attach the wires to each other?  How are the feeders attached to the track?  You problems got worse as you added more connections.  This says to me that you have high resistance in your wiring connections. EDIT: or you might also want to grab a multivolt meter and check to see if you have somehow shorted the rails together with your additional track feeders.  Some turnouts will cause this if the frog is all metal, the work around (for DC) is to gap the frog on the diverging route, so that the + and - don't touch.
