It may also depend on the layout size. One layout I run on was designed to be busless, its basically a double loop on a 15x4 foot baseboard, and it wired as the OP proposes, with all joints bridged by wire, on that there is no difference in resistance of that short distance and the controllers short...

My car looks as bad as that after a day driving around the M25

It's very easy, after cleaning and hoovering the track you just rub the pencil over the tracks, with power off as the pencil is conductive, then as you run your locos they spread the graphite around your layout. It does not take much to make a vast improvement. Not just for n-gauge it works just as ...
