For DC operation you have to go with the standard DPDT switch.

There are books dealing with the wiring with regards to both systems, your best bet is to find one for reference.

You can purchase a device called an AR1 from Digitrax that will AUTOMATICALLY do the polarity switching for you in WYE and reverse loop situations. It comes with very simple and clear instructions for installation. Most on-line railroad supply stores have them and I think you can get them on eBay as well. They cost about $25 (US).

Hope this helps.
