OK so if you want to use the wifi app to operate the Legacy engines via DCS you will need to have a Legacy Base, the aforementioned MTH DCS<>Legacy Cable and the SER2 with power supply.
6-81326 LCS Serial Converter 2 (SER2)
6-81499 LCS DB-9 Cable with Power Supply

If you are going to run Legacy engines with DCS in Legacy mode you will need to use the MTH app and you will need a Lionel SER2 and LCS power supply. When I get on a PC I can look those up for you. Other wise using the DCS remote the best you can do is TMCC. Marty will know better than I do what are the DCS capabilities for using Legacy. I don’t have the DCS WiFi gear and on my existing setup I can’t access Legacy features - I can control TMCC engines, however, but there seems no point when the Legacy CAB 2 will run them. As far as I know, no combination of controls will enable you to lash up DCS and Legacy engines but I stand to be corrected if that is wrong.

No you won't be able to lash up DCS and Legacy engines even with the WiFi app.

I made a roll out shelving unit my son calls the "double decker couch" from the Lego movie... It rolls out for access, houses my DCS and all power hook ups, and a main on/off switch power switch with voltage surge protector.

That's pretty slick!
