Using Bachmann EZ track, what's the rule, or need for feeder wires?

Ideally, every rail on the layout should have its own feeder.  Even E-Z Track suffers from voltage drop and the joiners can loosen.

But for those of us who can't afford to make an E-Z Track layout from only terminal rerailers, let's just say 'The more the better'.

I placed them every 3-5 feet on my layout.  Works much more reliably than when my controller was powering 70 feet of track from a single feeder.
