Noise may just be the price you pay for being able to pull long trains. The newer Bachmann Spectrum engines, along with other highly detailed plastic engines, don't seem to pull as well as a nicely balanced 'lead sled' die cast engine. That is, not without adding weight or shifting the balance over the drivers, or adding a traction tire. It's hard to make a generalization with so many new entries to the steam market these days.
Glad you've reached this stage of the construction. Keep on keepin on. Maybe someone else can help out with the sound suggestions?

I may not be a rivet counter, but I sure do like rivets!
