Reinhard you did it! 
With my Atlas Diesel ordered in DC it was a much more simple task to digitalize them. Even in to 2 CN wide cabs the ditchlights are working immediately as they should after simply plugging the MTC21 decoder in and programming it by Decoder Pro: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMkIiV-Ws_g&feature=youtu.be">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMkIiV- ... e=youtu.be</a><!-- m -->
But there is an other bug bear with the ESU made motherboards. The noise supression chokes and capacitors for analog DC running should be placed onto the dummy plug and not onto the motherboard as ESU did.
These noise supression devices are very useful for DC, but DCC decoders (ESU not?) have integrated these elements on their own PCB. So a double implementation is obsolete and may cause trouble with BEMF working properly. In doubt when BEMF is not working proper, remove the chokes and bridge the gaps, remove the capacitor also.
