Fosworks supply the Omni Tx 4.3 (3 loco)Tx 4 10R (10 loco) & Tx 4.30 (30 loco). The last number in the series denote the number of locos you can switch on the fly. Theoretically you could bind a complete separate set of locos to the same TX, just so long as you use them at a different time.
I use the TX4.3 in conjunction with FRX24-5A-SL to operate battery powered Bachmann locos fitted with ESU sound/ESC DCC cards. You can access 12 functions on the ESU card from the Omni TX/RX as supplied here. They will be the same functions on all locos. I have had them fitted to both non DCC and DCC ready Bachmann locos as well as those with the PnP board. The guy who has prepped these for me to fit is working on a direct fit to the Bachmann PnP PCB of the ESU card, rather than using the Bachmann adapter board. Most Bachmann locos have sufficient "headroom" above the PcB to do this.
Fosworks can supply fully wired up installations as part of their service. I am not sure if the exact same TX/RX combo can be mixed and matched for live steam applications. So you might have your live steamers on 1 TX and the electrics on another. However, Roundhouse in the UK offer Fosworks Omni kit as an option for both battery and live steam locos in their range as an alternative to the usual (for the UK) twin stick or thumb wheel TX's. E mail Steve at Fosworks, he's good at working out your needs and providing an easy to install solution.
I have no connection to Fosworks and I have, on pre existin installations, twin stick, thumb wheel and RCS (Tony Walsham) RC kit + a whole load of Fosworks used with analogue installations (like MyLocoSound). Hope this helps. Max
Range is here Fosworks P.S. David you beat me to it by seconds

I haven't done anything yet. Here is how plan to mount the throttle servo. I have no idea what I plan for the reverser. Receiver, batt and switch will be in the tender.
I did install new sight glass with a blow done valve on the top. It seems to be way more reliable and accurate, I also wasn't a fan of reaching into the cab near the firebox to burp the glass much easier with the valve on top. I plan to run a copper pipe from the valve through the floor of the cab.

My sight glass compared to my other locomotives was pretty bad, and like you once using the blow down valve it always leaked I could never get it to not leak and actually when I was tightening the valve the glass broke.
Where are you putting the reverser servo?
I am not putting a servo on the blower and I just installed the Fosworks into my k-28 but have another receiver and servo for my c-18. I used threaded 2-56 rod and clevis on my k-28 and probably same on the c-18.
Here is how I did my k-28 throttle.
