Pretty much as the title infers...I'd like your opinions as to the best TMCC/Legacy accessory on the market today.
If you'd like to weigh in on one coming out in the future...I would appreciate that one as well.
If this thread exists someone else on the forum...point me to it and I'll be glad to have this one deleted.
Thanks for your kind and thoughtful responses.

At the top of my list has to be the TMCC crane car, it's such a cool accessory, and the boom car with sounds just adds to the attraction. I'm sure the upcoming Legacy model will sport better sounds, though I don't think much will change with the actual crane operation.
Actually buy an SC2- all your accessories will come alive via your remote.
As far as the best....my vote goes for ...
Stationary- my favorite is the Lionel and the MTH firehouse! just hook them up through the SC2...second is the MTH diner...or maybe the car wash?
Mobile (action cars) = has to be the new vision line sound reefers, close second are the Station Sound Diner cars....
My favorite is the new Legacy Gantry Crane, have one on order and I believe they are expected in Dec. 2015.
I also like the Crane car & tender that GRJ listed above, but I ran out of money before I got to it. The culvert loader & un-loader, log loader and a few other new command control items I ordered with the gantry crane shot the budget so I figured one crane type accessory was enough for this time around. However, the crane car and tender is still on the want list.
I think all of the newly released Legacy command control accessories are going to be really fun items to have. Sorry, I got carried away there...
No fair counting something that isn't out yet.

x10. Best Command control anything lionel has ever created( IMO) These deserved VL status long before Lionel came up with the VL idea.

They are supposed to be out...well, out for manufacturing somewhere anyway.
I am with Gunrunner John, the best bang for the buck stops at the TMCC Crane car and Operating Sound Tender Car. There are some new ones do to be shipped later in the year, I think? Other neat cars are, the Visionline Cattle Car, The VisionLine Billboard car, all the Aluminum Sound Diner Cars....And as J Daddy said, Operating Your Entire Layout in Command, via SC2, or the ASC's and the BPC's is Just Plain Fun....Just think of Command as, Finger Tip Control, of Your Model Railroad World.....WOW, it's fun, Share it with All of Your Friends.....
We have a postwar 282 Gantry Crane converted to TMCC by a very skilled electronics guru and located to permit it to reach three three tracks and a junk yard. Although it does not have sound it is still fun to operate for anybody that has tried. It has a small cab light to indicate the magnet is energized but the magnet turns off on its own after two minutes if left energized. Our most prized accessory.
