To connect to a Legacy base and use the MTH WiFi app, the TIU must be plugged into a LCS SER2 module.
From Lionel you will need the following in addition to your Legacy Base...
6-81326 LCS Serial Converter 2 (SER2)
6-81499 LCS DB-9 Cable with Power Supply
Please note the Lionel WiFi 6-81325 is NOT required to use the DCS WiFi.
Connect it as follows from the DCS Companion...

MartyE,
Not sure I understand why all the LCS stuff in your diagram is needed to connect an MTH WiFi unit and a Legacy base to a TIU. The WiFi is connected to the TIU via USB cable, and the Legacy base is connected to the TIU via #50-1032. Why all the LCS stuff?
Because you will not be able to run Legacy engines with the app in Legacy mode without the LCS "stuff". If you are fine running them in TMCC mode only then you do not need all the "stuff". IMO a waste of a Legacy engine.

Ah, right. Forgot about that.
