The Rapido D1379 8 Plank Wagon is a model of a Southern Railway 8 plank open wagon. It is part of the Rapido SR 8 Plank collection, which represents the Big Four era of British railways, covering the periods of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway, the Great Western Railway, the London and North Eastern Railway and the Southern Railway.

This model is based on the SR dia.1379 8 plank open wagon and features a brown livery, as applied before 1936. The wagon has a 9ft wheelbase and is equipped with a 'freighter' style brake. The wheels are split-spoked and run on metal bearings.

The model is constructed using injection moulded parts, with metal detailing added to enhance its realism. A high level of detail is included, both above and below the floor line, to create a realistic representation of the real thing. The model is designed for OO gauge, with NEM coupler pockets to allow easy connection to other model wagons.

The Rapido D1379 8 Plank Wagon is a 1:76 scale model, making it suitable for use with OO gauge track and other models of the same scale.
