The Dapol GWR Toplight Mainline City BR Maroon Second Brake 3758 Set 6 is a new OO gauge model of a British Railways coach. The model is available in BR maroon livery and features a highly accurate injection moulded body with bolection window mouldings and frosted Toplight windows.

The model has a number of detailed features, including separate metal door and commode handles, wire end handrails, and separately applied end communication details. The coaches will also be available with correct number of roof ventilators depending on the period being modelled.

The technical specification of the model includes kinematic couplings with NEM pockets, allowing for close coupling, and coaches capable of negotiating R2 radius curves. The model also features sprung metal buffers, internal lighting, and a directional tail lamp. The chassis is made of heavy diecast metal and can be optionally DCC fitted with a six pin decoder.

The coaches were built by Swindon Works between 1920 and 1921, and were originally used for commuter traffic from Reading and Windsor into the City of London. They were later used on services further afield during the British Railways era. The coaches were retired from revenue-earning service by December 1957.

The model is a companion to the Dapol 61xx Prairie 2-6-2 locomotive.
