Conventional Engines Slow speed

How do you make a conventional engine go slow? There are many drops to the buss line, the engine is a Lionel (Louisville and Nashville "Big Emma" Berkshire), and made for JC Penny in 1986, the tender has the number 1970 on it.  This engine will run the complete loop ( 43 feet) if the speed is about 80% on the CW80 transformer; the loop has 072 curves so the engine does not jump the track when running fast, when the power is turned down, the engine will slow and or stop. Visitors usually comment about this pretty engine looking good while sprinting around the loop.

Thanks

Brent
