The Rapido D1379 8 Plank Wagon is a OO gauge model representing a Southern Railway (SR) wagon. This model is part of the Rapido SR 8 Plank collection. The wagon is based on the SR dia.1379 8 plank open design, which was used during the Big Four period, encompassing the Southern Railway, London, Midland and Scottish Railway, London and North Eastern Railway, and Great Western Railway.

The model features a SR Brown livery, as applied post-1936. It has a 9ft wheelbase and is equipped with a "Freighter" brake system. The wheels are of split-spoke design and run on metal bearings. The construction of the model is made from injection moulded plastic with metal detailing parts. The level of detail on the model extends above and below the floor line, and it is designed to be coupled to other models using NEM coupler pockets. The model is scaled at 1:76, which is the standard for OO gauge.
