I will see if I can get a pair if Blomberg M trucks from Atlas for the second unit. The part numbers are somewhat confusing. Have to dig into that.
The lamp story is finished. I did use my standard 1.2 kOhm resistors per Athearn bulb. That is a save value that works fine direct at the decoder wires and it works also fine on the Atlas board. Atlas has some advanced mimic other than a simple resistor to have constant lights.
I learned in the Atlas forum that the GP40 frame is about one foot to short. That is true but I am still happy with that wonderful silent running (to short) GP60M
