The non-derailing function is typically done with a relay or similar circuit, it's not a toggle switch.  The point of the non-derailing function is automatic selection of the path when a train comes into a switch improperly set for the path.

To be more specific.

I have a elevated track switch (2) that Stanley with East Coast Enterprises built for me with a Switch Tender motor (12V) that is a part of the elevated switch track.

He said to install a double pole momentary on-off-on toggle. (Had problems finding on the web the exact one) (Keep in mind I'm a nebbie at electrical but a fast learner)

Also not sure if i can wire for non-delrail and led indicators.

Any help would be appreciated.

I haven't done this, and relying on the spring loaded action of the switches has worked for our layouts/situations, but I wonder if any of these links would provide you with the information and guidance you are looking for, and perhaps someone who has done this can provide some help:

1a)  Atlas has a non-derailing circuit board:  https://shop.atlasrr.com/p-230...l-circuit-board.aspx, and it has outputs for indicators.  It looks like its backordered on the atlas website, but maybe you could find one at a dealer or second hand.

1b) This page has manuals and instructions for Atlas products including said non-derailing circuit board near the bottom of the page (or just search for 6924):  https://shop.atlasrr.com/t-manuals.aspx.  It has a number of different wiring diagrams, such as a wiring diagram for the board:  https://download.atlasrr.com/p...DERAIL%20INSTALL.pdf, and some a wiring diagrams for indicators, etc.

2a) after a quick search, here's a couple forum discussions, looks like some have wiring diagrams.  I suspect there are more, I just did a quick search in case it would help you out:

2c) https://ogrforum.com/topic/con...ing-atlas-o-switches


3) Also saw this recent post, I wonder if this will help you:  https://ogrforum.com/topic/led...ntrol-panel-mounting

Hope that helps and perhaps someone who has done this can provide more guidance
