The Rapido D1379 8 Plank Wagon is a model designed to represent a Southern Railway (SR) wagon. It is part of the Rapido SR 8 Plank collection, which focuses on the SR's fleet of eight-plank open wagons.

The model is designed for OO gauge and is built to a scale of 1:76. It is intended to represent a wagon from the Big Four period, which spanned the 1920s to the 1940s when the SR, London, Midland and Scottish Railway, London and North Eastern Railway, and Great Western Railway were the major railway companies in the UK.

The wagon is modelled as a SR dia.1379 eight-plank open wagon, and is painted in SR Brown livery as worn after 1936. It features a 9ft wheelbase and a Morton brake system. The model has split-spoked wheels running in metal bearings and is constructed using injection moulded parts with metal detailing added. The level of detail on the model is high, extending above and below the floor line. The model is designed to be easy to couple and features NEM coupler pockets.
