Where can I find a manual right ez track w/ steel black roadbed? My son has 2 of them that came in a box of tracks. He has one remote one but wants another manual one. Thanks!
Only from the Steel Alloy Expander Set, it is the only way to get any manual switches for E-Z track with the black roadbed. They are not sold separately by the manufacturer. However you can check ebay and other online Bachmann dealers to see if they are available separate/individually.

Most remote control turnouts, including the Bachmann ones that I have, can also be thrown manually by sliding a small knob on the top of the switch motor. Assuming this is still the case in their latest production, all you need to buy is a single, remote turnout, add the switch motor but not the wiring, and use it manually.
Check it out at your local hobby shop. No LHS? Consider thefavoritespot, a Bachmann dealer who deals on eBay. I have dealt with him many times, always to my complete satisfaction. The link below will take you to one of his auctions:
