The Rapido D1379 8 Plank Wagon is a model of a Southern Railway goods wagon, specifically designed for OO gauge model railways. The model represents a SR dia.1379 8 plank open wagon, and is part of Rapido's SR 8 Plank collection.

The model is intended to depict a wagon from the Big Four period, which spanned the 1940s to the 1947 nationalisation of the railways. However, it is also suitable for earlier models of the Southern Railway, during its pre-1936 era. The wagon features a 9ft wheelbase and a "Freighter" brake system.

The model's wheels are disc wheels running in metal bearings, adding to the overall authenticity of the model. The construction of the wagon is through injection moulding, with metal detailing parts used to enhance the level of detail. The model features a high level of detailing both above and below the floor line, and includes NEM coupler pockets for easy coupling with other models.

The model is available in 1:76 scale, making it suitable for OO gauge model railways.
