From what I see, it looks like if you buy a new Command Control Accessory, the saw mill for example, you can only control it from a CAB 1 or CAB 2, you can't operate it from a traditional push button. The older accessories, can be controlled by a push button or the CAB1/CAB2 if I were to add the ASC2. If I like to have the push button for kids around the layout, I need to stay with the non Command Control Accessory.
Just want to verify.
Thanks

Would a non command control equipped Gantry crane be one of the few accessories that I could not control all of the functions from the remote, since it has more than on and off? I know that I could control it from the wired controller.

yes, you are correct on the sawmill. Command only. The new Cab1L isn't too costly to get into command control.
I think Lionel made it difficult by not adding the owner's manual links to their product pages.
If you get a product number and visit customer support - select owner's manuals and enter the product number and select it - you will be able to determine the methods of operation available for a particular accessory.
