SHS didn't have Legacy or TMCC either. Scale Trains does sell conventional DC locomotives. I wouldn't be surprised if they use the electronic e-unit SHS had for Flyer guys.
Without a DCC compatible connector on Legacy electronics, it ain't gonna happen. I doubt Scale Trains is going to try to license it.
As to wheels, I would assume the wheel and coupler tooling was part of the deal.
Still, it's probably gonna take 2-3 years before we see anything under the Scale Trains badge.

I wonder how deep their pockets are. That will impact the time table.

As for Legacy, I agree. It's up to Lionel to make the compatible connector. As an overly complex, proprietary system, it's market impact is rather limited.
