 All three I mentioned support local buttons, for that very reason.

Be aware that some of the stationary decoders will also allow you to use control panel toggles in parallel with DCC control, but some will not.  I decided to put DCC control on a few turnouts, but after using it for a while I now with I had stuck with toggles.  Having both would be great.

 Lots of options. The NCE Switch-It and Switch-8 are some of less expensive ones. Digitrax DS64 will also work.
