You need a constant switch to control your LEDs. Some other track systems have turnout motors that have two sets of SPDT contacts (use one to power frogs, for example, and the other set to control the power to your LEDs. I chose to use ATLAS under-track turnout motors because of the built in switch contacts. I light LEDs beside the tracks, as you wanted, but have another LED on the panel where my switch controlling the turnout motor as well. More wire, but it works well.

The photo is a rural area of affordable housing next to a cemetery . The photo was taken with a Sony HX1 camera.
