 This is partly why I use solid wire for my feeders. Wrapped tightly around the bus wire, it actually makes a good connection. But not permanent. Then test run a loco over the newest part and make sure it runs. When I know it's all working, THEN the soldering gun comes out. Though with a linear around the walls layout it is hard to mess up the connections since the same color is always towards the wall.

You must have a feeder backwards again. 

 Also, just some stills would show the track plan and the wires, doesn;t have to be a video each time!
