As well as a pair of turned brass warping drums, for auxiliary pulling/lifting power, this trawl winch features twin coil drums with independent forward/reverse and brake controls, all of which have allowed simultaneous control of both the port and starboard warp lines.
The roller fairlead assembly hangs on the upper shaft with a simulated roller bearing and is secured in place by the lower shaft; the assembly even features gear stops, which would limit sideways movement, preventing lead ropes being able to pass beyond the ends of the drum coils.


As with all assemblies from ShipShapeFittings the breakdown into multiple components allows for greater fidelity and ease of painting for a more satisfying modelling experience.
Before assembly each component can be painted to match your model colours; the possibilities are endless, below is just one potential paint scheme.
