Test successful!
This weekend I got around to finishing up the tail track so that I could run a train across the module and verify that all the feeders and trackwork was OK. I found one loose feeder, possibly caused when the module set fell off the sawhorses in the garage. The other problem was one turnout with a sticky point. I got both those taken care of and shot a little video of the first train here:

Whew! Success! I need to move the tail track to the other end and test it, or better yet, build another one so that I can actually do a run around and move some cars.

Nice progress! You never forget your first run...
I have the same Campbell - Hausfeld brad nailer - came with my 2gal compressor! built the first half with pre-drilled holes and drywall screws. After buying that lil' puppy I banged up the second LARGER section in half the time. I will say the screws proved to be sturdier while the glue was drying but the time saved was worth it.
