The Dapol OO gauge GWR Toplight Mainline City BR Maroon All Second 3911 Set 6 is a model of a British Railways coaching stock from the early years of the organisation. The real-life coaches were built at Swindon Works between 1920 and 1921 and were designed for commuter services from Reading and Windsor into the City of London. The coaches were notable for being 7 inches lower than other contemporary carriages to accommodate the restrictive loading gauge of the London Underground tunnels.

A total of six sets of coaches were produced, each comprising six cars. The coaches were originally used for commuter traffic but were withdrawn from service in December 1957. Some of the coaches were converted into workmen's coaches for the miners' service in South Wales, with modifications including an extra window and a gong. One of these converted coaches is preserved at the Didcot Railway Centre.

The Dapol model features include highly accurate injection moulded bodies, separate metal door and commode handles, and detailed chassis with vacuum tanks and brake linkages. The model also includes a highly detailed interior and period-specific decorations. The technical specification includes kinematic couplings, sprung metal buffers, internal lighting, and directional tail lamp. The model can be optionally DCC fitted with a six pin decoder.
