I have to agree with Jonathan about acquiring 2-rail locomotives, especially Atlas. Save for a the recently released Master F3’s and the Trainman Dash 8-40CW’s, all of my Atlas locomotives were bought off eBay and dealers that specialize in 2-rail models. Train shows like the March Meet in Lombard, IL would probably be good bets, too.
If you are going to wait for Atlas to deliver new product to meet your motive power preferences then you stand a good chance of ending up with nothing. I wouldn’t be too confident about the GP7’s either despite what you may be hearing. Whatever agreement Atlas has with their factories and suppliers in China isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.
