The Dapol GWR Toplight Mainline City Lined Crimson Composite 7902 Set 1 model is a new OO gauge model of a classic GWR carriage. The model features a highly accurate injection moulded body with bolection window mouldings and frosted Toplight windows.

The coaches were built at Swindon Works between 1920 and 1921 and were originally used for commuter traffic from Reading and Windsor into the City of London. They were designed to be 7 inches lower than other contemporary carriages to allow them to operate on the London Underground tunnels. The coaches were removed from revenue-earning service in 1956 and 1957, but two brake third coaches and one all third coach were converted into workmen's coaches for the miners service in 1958.

The Dapol model will be available in all third, composite, and brake third coach configurations, making it a versatile addition to any GWR collection. The model features a highly detailed chassis, wire end handrails, and separately applied end communication details. The coaches will have the correct number of roof ventilators depending on the period being modelled.

Technical specifications for the model include kinematic couplings with NEM pockets, sprung metal buffers, internal lighting, and a directional tail lamp. The model can be optionally DCC fitted with a six-pin decoder. The coaches are capable of negotiating R2 radius curves and have a heavy diecast chassis.
