The Rapido D1379 8 Plank Wagon is a model representing a railway wagon from the Southern Railway (SR) fleet. It is part of Rapido's SR 8 Plank collection, which aims to recreate the distinctive open wagons used by the SR during the Big Four era.

The model is designed to be accurate for the period between the 1923 grouping and the 1948 nationalisation of the railways. It features a Southern Railway design, specifically the SR Dia.1379, which is an 8 plank open wagon. The wagon is depicted in the pre-1936 Southern Railway brown livery.

The model has a 9ft wheelbase and features a Morton brake, which was a type of braking system commonly used on British railways during this period. The wheels are disc type, running on metal bearings for added realism. The construction of the model utilises injection moulding, with metal detailing parts added for extra authenticity.

The Rapido D1379 8 Plank Wagon is designed to be highly detailed, with intricate features both above and below the floor line. The model is compatible with NEM coupler pockets, making it easy to connect and disconnect from other trains. The scale of the model is 1:76, making it suitable for OO gauge railway layouts.
