The steel track on the black base will snap right off if you slide a flat blade screwdriver beneath the ties. What you end up with is the plain old steel track Bachmann sold for years after abandoning brass. The nickel silver track on the gray roadbed is another story. It's a bit better secured and sometimes breaks, especially the turnouts.
I don't know why you would want to separate the track from the base and I don't really care, your plans are your own. EZ-Track can be ballasted well enough that people will mistake it for regular track laid on cork. Believe me, I know. I can show you photos of mine after it was ballasted.

What don't you like? (Inquiring minds want to know!)
I haven't used the NS Bachmann track, just the steel.
