Although it is common practice, nailing down the rails has always caused me issues like you describe, nevertheless how thoroughly the roadbed has been put together. I switched to using 1,4 x 10 mm screws from Marklin (#7599), which fit perfectly to screw down track from all manufacturers I use (Atlas, Shinohara, Peco, Tillig, Roco). Using a small power screwdriver, work is even going faster than with nails especially if you have to make fine corrections. The biggest advantage of using screws instead of nails is the flexibility to change something on and on and that there is no damage to track. Happy Holidays
