Good afternoon I am branching out into MTH and their DCS system. My question is if I want to only run MTH DCS locomotives do I need the TIU as well as the remote or only the DCS remote. Thank you for any help you are able to offer.

You must have both, i.e. the TIU and the Hand Held Remote, which "talks to" the TIU.
I thought so but I just wanted to make sure and could think of no better place to ask. Thank you very much!
And just to add another option, you can also by-pass the remote and purchase a TIU and WIU (Wireless Interface Unit) combo (50-1036) and run trains using a downloadable app to your phone, tablet, etc. and not need a remote.
or pick up the dcs explorer kit that is being sold on ebay from a starter set, you can get power supply, the explorer, cables etc. Use your phone or tablet with the app. Enough to get you started....
