Hey Dale,
Thank you for your response.

There is a link to the 7794. I am not sure about the cruise control, it may be a feature of something that I don't have. I have not been able to purchase anything like the Legacy Command Base or CAB, and honestly don't know if it works with the trains that I have.
If I put just the tender for the 7794 on the track and move it back and forth slowly I am able to hear the sound that I am aiming for, I just can't seem to get the train to go slow enough when applying power through the LW.
Video of what I am meaning:

Now I realize that the engine in the video above is far more expensive than the one I own, but is that why it is able to go slow enough for those desired sounds? Or is it just using a transformer or command set that is able to provide more finely tuned voltage?
I will look in to the bridge rectifier that you mentioned for the 2055, I will have to try and find some videos or manuals because I honestly am not sure exactly what that does.
Thanks,
Chris
