At this point, I'm probably just going to start looking into making my own bi-color lighted pushbuttons.
Far easier than scouring the Internet for answers that don't exist.

I highly doubt that it will be easier.

I suggest you contact the suppliers of the product you mention above- they might bend on quantities if you make personal contact.  I've found that with some companies.

Or ask them if they can put you in touch with one of their customers. One who might sell you a few of their supply.

Another idea here is to use Touch Toggles -these are panel mount with bi-color LEDs. The December 2015 Model Railroader has an article on using them for turnout control.

Have a look at Berrett Hill's system. Their touch toggles are really simple to set up.

URL No good.
www.berretthillshop.com could not be found. Please check the name and try again. 
  Looks like it was a computer glitch,

I have a feeling that for Cody the cost might be problematic for anything but a simple push-button solution.

Odd, it's working for me. 

Thanks for the tip - I had not heard of them and it looks like they have some nice stuff.  (As if I needed any more electronics to distract me...)

Berrett Hills is usually at the Timonium shows.
