Hi,
I am likely to buy a couple of these, and would quite like the Hawksworth tender versions.
In case I missed it, have they said when these versions will be/are likely to be available?
I imagine they will be released with different names, and there are a few to choose from!
Anyway, wishing all readers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy new year.
what will be the differences in appearance in the n scale models between the modified hall and the ordinary one ( dapol) ?

Farish are doing both versions, original and modified. I am no GW expert but the differences in appearance are primarily around the front end where the modified loco used plate frames and separate cylinder and smokebox saddle castings bolted to them. I think the bogie was a different design too.

If you look here you will clearly see the differences in the front end of the two types of loco:

The launch video gives an overview of the differences:

The initial four models are also listed.
