No but they should work. They are two very like tracks. Bachmann should know for shure.

the only potential problem would be at the beginning and end of the grade. If its too shape a change, derailment city

Dear CEO,

Kato's Unitrack cross section may be slightly different than Bachmann's, so it might not be a perfect fit. 

HO Ez-Track is just a hair under 2" wide at the bottom of the roadbed, with a unique (patented?) slope to the ballast.

For an easier (half) gradient, buy two sets and shim every other pier half the difference.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Joe Satnik
