Sign - Welcome [#welcome]  The ASC controller is going to basically flip a switch completing a circuit.  I use buttons all the time to overide an SC-2 controller to run an accessory.  Draw a sketch and you will see that the button will bypass the current that would normally go through your ACS.

Lionel also made a control called "Big Red".  It is a button that plugs into your CAB-1 that duplicates the last command from the CAB-1.

You can leave the button hookups for manual operation in addition to TMCC accessory operation through the SC2 or other devices. No problem.
