The Rapido D1379 8 Plank Wagon is a model of a British Railways freight wagon, specifically designed for OO gauge railways. The model represents a wagon from the early BR era, featuring the classic BR crest.

The wagon is part of Rapido's SR 8 Plank collection, which aims to recreate the distinctive eight-plank open wagons built by the Southern Railway and later adopted by British Railways. This particular model is inspired by the SR's dia.1379 design, a type of wagon that was used for carrying goods.

The model features a high level of detail, with metal detailing parts and injection moulded construction. The wheels are split-spoked and run on metal bearings, while the NEM coupler pockets enable easy coupling with other wagons. The wagon's dimensions are accurately represented, with a 9ft wheelbase and a focus on the detailed brake equipment.

This model is designed for use with OO gauge tracks and is built to a scale of 1:76.
