Yes, Mike all you need is the receiver. I bought a 40-4001 from a Forum member a couple years ago, not realizing that the 40-4002 was all I needed since I already had the DCS remote. I have tried the receiver out with both remotes, and it works slick, so you are right, the 40-4001 remote is now redundant. It certainly was a good thing when first produced before DCS was out, but I was still strictly HO at that time. I'm glad you are up to speed on all that is necessary nowadays. I spent $100 plus shipping, and didn't need the remote. Lessons learned, and glad to pass on lessons to anyone else who is reading this!!
