The model is part of the Rapido SR 8 Plank collection and is designed to depict a wagon from the Big Four era, which spans from the grouping of the railways in 1923 to the nationalisation of the railways in 1948.

The model is a representation of the SR dia.1379 8 plank open wagon, specifically in the brown livery used prior to 1936. It features a 9ft wheelbase and a Morton brake system. The wheels are split-spoked and are mounted in metal bearings.

The model is constructed using injection moulded plastic with metal detailing parts to enhance its realism. It includes a high level of detail both above and below the floor line, adding to its authenticity. The model is designed for OO gauge, which is a scale of 1:76, and is equipped with NEM coupler pockets for easy coupling and uncoupling with other compatible models.
