"Lionchief Plus 2.0 engines can lash-up with Legacy engines with a Legacy controller!"
So they are not TMCC, they are actually Legacy locomotives in non-scale bodies. They are exactly what I've been wanting from Lionel since they introduced LC+. The Big Boy price seems rather high, but the Berk is right in the sweet spot where I'll be happy to buy. If they add LC+2.0 to their other LC+ offerings, I'll be getting quite a few (Hudson, Mikado, and Camelback).
I'm okay with them not coming with a remote because I can use my Cab controllers to run them.
You assume facts not in evidence! That statement doesn't make them Legacy locomotives. You can lash up a TMCC locomotive now with a Legacy locomotive, you just have to have the TMCC locomotive the lead locomotive. And yes, you can do this with the Legacy CAB2 as the remote. 
Truthfully, I'd suspect if they really were Legacy locomotives under the skin, they'd have said Legacy and not TMCC in the ad copy.
