The Dapol GWR Toplight Mainline City Lined Chocolate & Cream Composite 7903 Set 2 is a model railway coach set that represents the GWR's Toplight coaches. These coaches were built by Swindon Works between 1920 and 1921, with the first order placed in 1915 but delayed due to the First World War. Six sets of coaches were produced, each consisting of six coaches, and were primarily used for commuter traffic from Reading and Windsor into the City of London.

The coaches were designed with a steel body and were 7 inches lower than other contemporary carriages, allowing them to travel through London Underground tunnels. They were originally used on services to the City of London, but their use was curtailed at the start of the Second World War. After the war, they were used on services further afield and were eventually withdrawn from revenue-earning service in December 1956.

Two of the coaches were converted into workmen's coaches in 1958, with modifications including an additional window and a gong. One of these coaches, 3755, is now preserved at Didcot Railway Centre, while another, 3756, is partially restored.

The Dapol model of the GWR Toplight Mainline City coaches is a highly detailed OO gauge model, featuring a highly accurate injection-moulded body, separate metal door and commode handles, and wire end handrails. The model includes a highly detailed chassis, vacuum tanks, battery boxes, and brake linkages, as well as a 9ft bogie bolster and split axles for electrical pick-up. The model also features a highly detailed interior with period-specific decorations.

The model is designed to be compatible with DCC systems and can be fitted with a six-pin decoder. It has a kinematic coupling with NEM pockets, allowing for close coupling, and can negotiate R2 radius curves. The model is also equipped with sprung metal buffers and internal lighting.
