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:
