Dapol's OO gauge GWR Toplight Mainline City coaches are due to be released, comprising all third, composite, and brake third coaches. These models are designed to complement the Dapol 61xx Prairie 2-6-2 locomotive.

The coaches were originally built in 1920 and 1921 at Swindon Works, with the first order placed in 1915 but delayed due to World War I. Six sets of coaches were produced, each consisting of six cars, and were constructed with a steel body and a lower profile to accommodate the restrictive loading gauge of London Underground tunnels.

The coaches were used for commuter services from Reading and Windsor into the City of London, and later saw service on longer routes after World War II. They were withdrawn from revenue-earning service by December 1957.

The models will feature highly accurate injection-moulded bodies, separate metal door and commode handles, wire end handrails, and separately applied end communication details. The chassis will include vacuum tanks, battery boxes, and brake linkages, as well as a 9ft bogie bolster with diecast side frames and split axles for electrical pick-up.

Technical specifications include kinematic couplings with NEM pockets, the ability to negotiate R2 radius curves, sprung metal buffers, internal lighting, and a directional tail lamp. The coaches will also have a heavy diecast chassis and can be optionally DCC fitted with a six-pin decoder.
