"I would be far more open to purchasing an Lionel locomotive if I could run it with the DCS TIU without the CAB-1/2/3 base right out of the box."

Ain't happening is my educated guess. What possible motivation would Lionel have for doing this? Not to mention the cost to MTH of developing the hardware and software to enable the TIU or WTIU to talk directly to TMCC/Legacy locos. I suspect MTH could make it so that future generations of TIUs could talk to Bluetooth Lionel locos, since that is a non-Lionel protocol.

Lionel appears to be perfectly happy to allow the MTH TIU to talk to the command base for TMCC/Legacy locos. Contrarily, that's what MTH has not allowed for the 20 years of existence of DCS. I cannot buy a device that allows my command base for TMCC to talk to a TIU because MTH wanted it that way, presumably. Unless they change their mind .
