Not sure I understand your question. Wireless tether for your DCC system or a sound activation unit for sounds on a DC system?

Yes, please go into more detail.
most DCC companies make a wireless system for their lines, this allows you to use a wireless throttle to run your trains.
There is also a few companies that make stand alone sounds and remote operations for them.
But most people went DCC and avoid it.
On the other hand, if you mean lanyards, then that is a different issue.

Brian, I'm not a steam guy, but what I believe you are asking is this.
"Is it possible for the decoder to be in the tender and not have any wires up to the engine itself?"
I don't think it is. You atleast want some form of engine pickup and then the motor is in there, and you generally want a headlamp also. What that means is atleast 6 wires.
Now, this can be accomplished by various methods, of which some are nice and simple and neat...
