The Rapido D1400 8 Plank Wagon is a model of a British Railways freight wagon, specifically designed to represent a vehicle from the early days of the British Railways' crest.

This model is part of Rapido's SR 8 Plank collection, which aims to recreate a specific type of wagon that was used by the Southern Railway. The actual vehicle it represents is a SR dia.1400 8 plank open wagon.

The model is built to a scale of 1:76, which is the standard for OO gauge model railways. It features a grey British Railways livery, which was used during the period represented by this model, namely the early days of the British Railways' crest.

Key features of the model include a 10ft wheelbase, disc wheels running in metal bearings, and a high level of detail both above and below the floor line. The model is constructed using injection moulded parts, with additional metal detailing added for authenticity. NEM coupler pockets are also included, allowing for easy coupling and uncoupling of the model.
