The Dapol GWR Toplight Mainline City Twin City Chocolate & Cream 3rd Brake 3752 Set 3 is a new OO gauge model of a GWR Toplight Mainline City carriage, featuring the iconic chocolate and cream livery of the Great Western Railway.

Built in 1920 and 1921 at Swindon Works, these coaches were designed to operate on the London Underground network, with a lower height to accommodate the restrictive tunnel loading gauge. Each set consisted of six coaches, and six sets were produced in total. Initially used for commuter services from Reading and Windsor into the City of London, they were later used on longer-distance services after the Second World War.

The coaches were withdrawn from service in December 1956, with all being scrapped by December 1957. However, two brake third coaches and one all-third coach were converted into workmen's coaches for the miners' service on the South Wales Mineral Railway in 1958.

Dapol's new model features highly accurate details, including separate metal door and commode handles, wire end handrails, and correct roof ventilators for the period. The coaches also boast a highly detailed chassis, vacuum tanks, battery boxes, and brake linkages. Other features include kinematic couplings, sprung metal buffers, internal lighting, and directional tail lamps. The model can be optionally DCC fitted with a six-pin decoder.
