The Rapido D1379 8 Plank Wagon is a model of a Southern Railway freight wagon, specifically the SR dia.1379 8 plank open wagon. This model is part of the Rapido SR 8 Plank collection, which represents the Big Four period in British railway history. The Big Four refers to the four major railway companies that existed in the UK from 1923 to 1948, namely the London, Midland and Scottish Railway, the Great Western Railway, the London and North Eastern Railway, and the Southern Railway.

The model is designed for OO gauge and features a 1:76 scale representation of the SR dia.1379 wagon. The model is constructed using injection moulded plastic with metal detailing parts, and features a high level of detail both above and below the floor line. The model is designed to represent the wagon in Southern Railway brown livery, as worn after 1936. The wagon has a 9ft wheelbase and features disc wheels running in metal bearings. The model also features "Freighter" brake equipment and NEM coupler pockets for easy connection to other models.
