The Dapol GWR Toplight Mainline City Lined Chocolate & Cream 3rd Brake 3750 Set 2 is a model of a 1920s British Railways coach. This model is part of the GWR Toplight Mainline City coaches range and features a chocolate and cream livery.

The prototype coaches were built at Swindon Works between 1920 and 1921, and consisted of six sets of coaches, each with six cars. They were designed to operate on the London Underground system, with a lower height to accommodate the restrictive loading gauge of the tunnels. The coaches were used for commuter services from Reading and Windsor into the City of London, before being withdrawn from service in the late 1950s.

This model features a highly accurate injection-moulded body, with detailed mouldings and windows. The coach has a highly detailed interior, including vacuum tanks, battery boxes, and brake linkages. The model also features a 9ft bogie bolster with diecast side frames and split axles for electrical pickup.

The Dapol model is available in a brake third version, with all third and composite coaches also being produced. The model has a number of features, including separately applied end communication details, wire end handrails, and a correct number of roof ventilators depending on the period being modelled.
