The Rapido D1379 8 Plank Wagon is a model of a Southern Railway wagon. This model represents a wagon from the Big Four era, a period that began in 1923 and ended in 1948, when the Southern Railway merged with other railway companies to form British Railways.

The wagon is based on the SR dia.1379 8 plank open design, which was a common type of wagon used by the Southern Railway. The model is finished in the standard SR Brown livery used after 1936. Key features of the model include a 9ft wheelbase and the use of Morton brakes.

The model's wheels are split-spoked and run in metal bearings, adding a level of authenticity to the design. The construction of the model is via injection moulding, with metal detailing parts used to enhance the model's realism. Detailing is provided above and below the floor line, allowing modellers to create a highly realistic scene. The model is designed to be used with OO gauge track and features NEM coupler pockets for easy coupling to other models. The model is available in 1:76 scale, making it suitable for use with OO gauge layouts.
