For years I have collected post war O27 with some accessories, but now thinking of considering the new stuff. Wondered if the newer accessories really work better than the old and if they come in O27 or only O.
I bought a Nutcracker Gateman a few years back and it works fine. I did have to re-attach the Christmas tree because it came out of the box already loose.

I have both and they work fine. You can use most O with O27.

Accessories work with both O and O27.
There are two kinds of “new” accessories. Some of them are reproductions of the postwar accessories; others have been re-engineered. The reproductions, like the Lionel sawmill, work as well as their postwar counterparts. The re-engineered accessories, like the portal crane, work much better than their postwar counterparts.
