1. An accessory system for a gas turbine engine comprising: a main case which defines an accessory gearbox axis;a cover removably mountable to said main case; a first gear set at least partially within said cover along a first accessory axis transverse to said accessory gearbox axis,a tower shaft driving said first gear set,a second gear set along a second accessory axis transverse to said accessory gearbox axis, said second gear set driven by said first gear set said second gear set arranged downstream of said first gear set wherein said first gear set and said second gear set are on a first mounting axis;a third gear set on a second mounting axis and,a crossover gear set generally along said accessory gearbox axis, said crossover gear set interconnects said second gear set and said third gear set. 2. The accessory system as recited in claim 1, wherein said first gear set includes a shaft separable into a first shaft portion supported within said cover and second shaft portion supported within said main case. 3. The accessory system as recited in claim 2, further comprising a splined interface between said first shaft portion and said second shaft portion. 4. The accessory system as recited in claim 2, further comprising a drive gear mounted to said second shaft portion. 5. The accessory system as recited in claim 4, further comprising a spur gear mounted to said first shaft portion, said spur gear supported by a bearing set mounted within said cover. 6. The accessory system as recited in claim 1, wherein said accessory gearbox axis is parallel to a gas turbine engine axis of rotation. 7. The accessory system as recited in claim 1, wherein said first accessory axis is transverse to a gas turbine engine axis of rotation. 8. The accessory system as recited in claim 1, wherein said first gear set drives a first accessory component removably mounted to said cover. 9. The accessory system as recited in claim 1, wherein said first accessory axis and said second accessory axis defines a V-orientation. 10. The accessory system as recited in claim 1, wherein said first gear set drives a first accessory component removably mounted to said cover. 11. The accessory system as recited in claim 9, wherein said second gear set drives a second accessory component removably mounted to a second removable cover of said accessory gearbox. 12. The accessory system of claim 1 further comprising: a fourth gear set upstream of and driven by said third gear set and mounted on said second mounting axis. 13. The accessory system of claim 1 further comprising: a fifth gear set upstream of and driven by said third gear set and mounted on said second mounting axis. 14. The accessory system of claim 1 further comprising: a sixth gear set downstream of and driven by said second gear set and mounted on said first mounting axis. 15. The accessory system of claim 1 wherein said tower shaft enters said main case at an upstream end thereof between said first mounting axis and said second mounting axis. 16. The accessory system of claim 15 further comprising a seventh gear set mounted at a downstream end of said case, said seventh gear set driven by said cross-over gear set. 17. The accessory system of claim 1 further comprising a seventh gear set mounted at a downstream end of said main case, said seventh gear set driven by said cross-over gear set. 18. The accessory system of claim 17 wherein said seventh gear set is mounted on said main case between said first mounting axis and said second mounting axis.
