Switch Mess

Hi everyone. I recently tore down my layout as I found it a bit bland.
This time around I am trying to incorporate switches!!!! (yikes)

If anyone can direct me into wiring this I would be quite grateful. I was thinking some colored lines for the power, and then marking where it should be connected with insulated rail joiners?

I am using DCC, and all switches are #4, except for the one noted #411, which I believe is insulated as well.

I have included my drawing for easy reference, but actual pics as well.

Thank you so much!!:)

These all appear to be Atlas and Atlas copies, meaning they are like you said insulated. There is no need for gaps between these turnouts. I would place a feeder on each line between the turnouts and go from there. The frogs are dead, so there is no worries about shorts.
 
Yes, some appear to have plastic frogs and some unpowered metal frogs. So if you don't have power routing turnouts there is nothing you need to insulate.
