"If you purchase a set it will have a remote for just that engine. Newer sets do not include remote as they want you to use the app. A universal remote will be needed if you do not want to use the app."

I believe it was only MTH that didn't include a remote in sets, and MTH isn't making sets at present, as far as I know, in any case.

Separate sale LionChief locos (but not LionChief +2.0 locos) and (almost ) all Lionel sets include a remote that is specifically for use only with that locomotive. So if you buy a separate sale LionChief +2.0 loco, you do not get a remote.

As noted by others above, for LionChief + 2.0 locos, you have the choice of conventional transformer control, the Universal Remote, the free LionChief app on your phone or tablet, a TMCC or Legacy system.
