Been very busy, but here are the CV values I use on my upgraded Bachmann 44. 
           New setup: Tsunami 750, Current Keeper, RailMaster cube speaker.

If CV not listed, default is used.
CV  3-20     114-6
       4-30     116-25
      29-18    115-2
      25-10    120-175
      66-40    121-35
      95-40    122-90
                   128-192

Notes:  CV3,4: The prototype accelerated very rapidly, and could stop on a dime.
             66,95: Top end on prototype around 35mph.  I limit mine to 15mph. It allows
                         the sound generator to come in before loco hardly moves. Also, my
                         layout is for yard and local switching, not Class 1 stuff, 10mph restrictions.
              114:  A rapid bell rate drives me nuts! A slow steady ring is more pleasant and
                        "sounds just right".
               116: speed step/engine notch, still playing around with this, as the type of drive
                        on the prototype is completely different than line haul locos.

                Remember to log your CV values B4 you change them, so you can return to original.
 
           CAUTION:, these values are used on a Tsunami 750 using a RailMaster cube speaker!  I
            have no idea if/how  they would work on a stock Bachmann DCC motor only board. 

            Overall, the new installation has been a great success, until I did a second unit
             using the new Tsunami2 1100.  Thinking of swapping the 750 out for a 1100 TSU2
