The GWR Toplight Mainline City Twin City Chocolate & Cream All 3rd 3905 Set 3 model is a new addition to the Dapol range of OO gauge railway models. The model is representative of a set of six coaches built by Swindon Works between 1920 and 1921, during the period of the Big Four railway companies.

The coaches were originally used for commuter services from Reading and Windsor into the City of London, but were later used on longer-distance services. They were withdrawn from revenue-earning service in 1956 and 1957. One set of coaches, numbers 3755, 3756 and 3910, was later converted into workmen's coaches for the miners' service in South Wales.

The Dapol model of the Toplight Mainline City coach will feature a highly accurate injection-moulded body, bolection window mouldings and frosted Toplight windows. Other details include separate metal door and commode handles, wire end handrails and separately applied end communication details. The model will have a highly detailed chassis with vacuum tanks, battery boxes and brake linkages, as well as 9ft bogie bolsters with diecast side frames and split axles for electrical pick-up.

The technical specification of the model includes kinematic couplings with NEM pockets, sprung metal buffers, internal lighting and a directional tail lamp. The model can be optionally fitted with a six-pin decoder, such as the Dapol Imperium Four, to enable DCC operation.
