Trying to run 1996 MTH Protosounds engine with Lionel Legacy Command base & ZW-l

As noted in the subject, I am trying to run my 1996 MTH BL2 Protosounds engine (FEC) with a Lionel Legacy Command base & ZW-L in command mode. The sound comes up with a lot of static and the engine doesn't seem to run smoothly (starts, stops, starts again). Do I need some sort of MTH controller instead or some sort of electrical filter or is this just not possible to do this. I was hoping to actually run my old Protosounds (QSI) engines on the new layout.

I only have three of these early engines. Would I be better off just selling them? I haven't really used them since purchasing them in the late 1990's because trying to run them on a layout and controlling them with the Clinks & Clanks (remember those!) was just idiotic.

Any help, directions, or advice is greatly appreciated.
