It's not exactly clear what the question is. The Bachmann "Anniversary" model, along with all the Big hauler Series is a 4-6-0.

There are several examples where the 4-6-0s have been converted to other wheel configurations, including 2-8-0. Barry's Big Trains makes a conversion chassis to change the 4-6-0 to a 2-8-0.

I haven't personally seen one done, but would think the addition of Airwire would be as straight forward as any Airwire installation.

The same comment would apply if you are asking about adding Airwire to the Bachmann 2-8-0 Consolidation.

You might get more response if you post this question in Bachmann's Large Scale Board just below.

Happy RRing,
