More properly: how do I remove an Atlas turnout (#6 HO code 83) that I have affixed to my layout with ballast? I use Elmer's white glue mixed 50-50 with water for gluing the ballast down. Ballast is Woodland Scenics. Cork roadbed. This is a turnout that's been down for years so getting it up isn't going to be easy. Let's put it this way - I have no need for track nails or spikes with this method. I don't want to destroy anymore scenery surrounding the track than absolutely necessary.
Soak with water and use a putty knife? Heat with a hair dryer? Don't want to melt the ground foam alongside if I can help it.
