i have a few bachmenn E-Z track peices the curves are HO 18". i was wondering if the track is somehow seperable from the plastic road bed. i know you aren't supposed to seperate it but was wondering if there is a trick to it. i also have some 9" straights i want to seperate. on the bottom of the track is one peg and then two holes by each end of the track and one hole next to the peg. thats for the curve for the straight there are little pegs near each end of the track and on one end there is a larger peg next to the other peg. i might most pics. if my camra works but there is a little shot of some of the track in my avatar. any help will be greatly aprreciated! thanks so much for any feedback

Why would you want to separate the track from the plastic roadbed? Why not just buy some Atlas snap track? A whole lot simpler, and you would not be ruining the more expensive E-Z track.

I built my layout out of EZ-track because I had it. Now I am tearing out two years work because I was too cheap to do it right in the first place. Just do it right and don't pinch on the most important part of the layout.
IF your track don't work, you ain't got squat.

The stuff is either heat bonded or glued, or press-fit so well that you will damage every item, and not be happy with what you have left...all that mess to clean up and nothing useful to show for it. I know...I tried it once.
Use the Atlas filler if you need it here and there, or just spring for flex track like 80+% of us do.
