Rapido SER/SECR 5‑plank 10‑ton open wagon – SR Pre‑’36 brown, No 13081 is a 1:76 (OO gauge) model of a pre‑grouping South Eastern Railway (later South Eastern and Chatham Railway) freight wagon. It carries the manufacturer part number 824020.

The prototype wagons were built between 1897 and 1901 to meet the surge in freight traffic on the SER. Approximately 1 250 open wagons were produced, split between diagram 1340 (5‑plank open goods) and diagram 1341 (5‑plank open coal). Builders included Ashbury Railway Carriage and Iron Co, Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon Co, Oldbury Railway Carriage and Wagon Co and the railway’s own Ashford Works, with some subcontracting that makes exact numbers per builder uncertain.

Both diagrams measured 15 ft 5 in in length with a 9 ft 4 in wheelbase. The main visual difference is the low‑D‑shaped ends and Williams‑pattern sheet‑rail on the D1341 coal version, versus the rounded ends on the D1340 goods version. Many examples were later converted to square ends in 1912.

The wagons passed to the Southern Railway on 1 January 1923 and were progressively withdrawn, the last D1340 being scrapped in 1942 and the final D1341 in 1948. The model includes split‑spoke wheels with metal bearings, NEM coupler pockets, detailed floor‑line painting and a high‑quality brown livery applied above and below the floor line.
