I can't imagine how the modified wave would affect the barrel loader adversely. I ran mine just now off the accessory output of the CW-80, also a chopped waveform transformer.

Is the accessory output of a CW-80 also chopped? If not, I wonder what would happen if you tried using the train control output terminals.

I would not expect the pattern of vibration to be the same with a chopped wave form.
After all, the 362 will not work properly without a good rectifier diode. And I have noticed that a number of other vibrator powered accessories work differently on 1/2 wave DC. For example, a 3520 rotating searchlight will rotate in the opposite direction if is it powered with 1/2 wave.

Just a hunch really, if the accessory output of a CW-80 is also chopped wave, then that certainly is not the issue.
