Manufacturer description

Our Field Marshall tractor is based on the model produced by the Lincolnshire based company post 1945 and represents a much improved tractor over its 1930s predecessor. It comes in a bright red colour scheme with contrasting black and silver trim. Patriotically flying the red, white and blue Union Flag on each side of the engine cowling, the famous Field Marshall trademark is printed on the nearside in grey, together with Diesel lettering. The Field Marshall was used mainly for pulling agricultural machines such as threshing machines from place to place and in its day was a familiar site in the cornfields with a belt pulley coupled by a large flat drive belt to the pulley of whichever machine they were helping to power.

Catalogue listing

Oxford Diecast Field Marshall Tractor – 1:76 Scale
Manufacturer Part Number: 76FMT003
Period represented: British Railways Late Crest (circa 1945–1950)

The model reproduces the post‑1945 Field Marshall tractor made by a Lincolnshire‑based firm, a significant development on the earlier 1930s version. It is presented in a bright red colour scheme with black and silver trim. A red, white and blue Union Flag is applied to each side of the engine cowling, and the Field Marshall trademark and the word Diesel are printed in grey on the nearside.

Historically the Field Marshall was employed to pull agricultural equipment such as threshing machines. It transferred power via a large flat drive belt that linked the tractor’s belt pulley to the driven machine’s pulley, making it a common sight in mid‑twentieth‑century British cornfields.
