The Rapido D1400 8 Plank Wagon is a model train item offered by the company Rapido. This model is designed for use on OO gauge model railways and represents a British Railways wagon from the early crest period.

The model is based on the SR dia.1400 8 plank open wagon, which is a type of freight wagon used by the Southern Railway and later by British Railways. The model is available in BR Grey livery, a colour scheme commonly used by British Railways during the early crest period.

Key features of the model include a 10ft wheelbase, a "freighter" brake system, and split-spoke wheels running on metal bearings. The construction of the model is injection moulded with metal detailing parts added for added authenticity. The model features a high level of detail both above and below the floor line, with NEM coupler pockets provided for ease of connection to other wagons.

The model is designed to be used in 1:76 scale, which is the scale typically used for OO gauge model railways.
