I'm using atlas sectional track code 80. I've decided to try nailing track down. I was able to nail down the cork and I sort of liked the result. Now, I've tested out nailing one piece of track and I ruined two little nail holes because if the nail goes in the least bit crooked the plastic tie breaks. With cork it's not that bad since I can straighten out or pull the nail and nail down a new one. Previously I've glued track to the cork and glued cork.
I'm using atlas N/HO nails. I have a feeling that I may destroy my track. I'd like to try using nails. Any advice? I've been using a small hammer and a punch but that does not guarantee I'll pound the nails straight?
I may end up gluing, but it becomes a hassle at turnouts. What have you guys done?
