They had MWM direct sea water cooled engines and were reengineered with Lister Blackstone fresh water cooled 1500 hp engines.

 "The Loch Lein was sold to skipper Walter "Fly" Homes and the trawler was based in Fleetwood. My Father was part of the crew who sailed her
to New-Zealand in 1965.
She lasted until 1988 and sank with no loss of life off the coast of Australia.
