Carnforth. On 29 May 1977, after hauling the Great Western Envoy from Birmingham to Didcot and return, 4079 headed to Avonmouth Docks where it departed for Sydney, where it was stored at Eveleigh Carriage Workshops. In the following March, 4079 travelled to Newcastle, New South Wales where it was loaded aboard the Iron Baron for Dampier, Western Australia, where Hamersley manager Ian Burston handed it over to the Pilbara Railways Historical Society. On 12 October, Pendennis Castle and two former New South Wales Government Railways S type passenger cars were named Rio Fe by Lady Turner, wife of Sir Mark Turner, chairman of Rio Tinto, one of the major investors in Hamersley Iron. A brass plaque bearing the name Rio Fe was fitted above 4079's smokebox door. On 7 November 1978, Pendennis Castle's completed its first passenger run with a return trip from Dampier to Dugite. Modified in 1980, Pendennis Castle was used for excursion trains on the Hamersley railway. It was moved by road to Perth, where it had a historic reunion with Flying Scotsman during the latter's tour of Australia on 17 September 1989. It went on to operate on the Westrail network. After various problems with the expiry of its boiler certificate, 4079 made its final run in Australia on 14 October 1994 before it was put in storage. Hamersley Iron were not prepared to pay a repair bill of 240,000 Australian Dollars, and repairs were becoming uneconomical after fully electronic signalling was installed, which would have required the locomotive to be towed behind a diesel. Return to England and restoration (2000–present) Rio Tinto started to find a secure home for 4079 and in September 1998, contacted The Railway Magazine editor Nick Pigott, who had Adrian Knowles prepare a case for the engine to return to Didcot Railway Centre. The pitch was successful, and a £37,500 grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund was quickly received and covered three-quarters of the costs to have it shipped to England. On Easter 2000, 4079 left Fremantle on the container ship Toba, arriving in Bristol on 8 June and onward to Didcot. It became only the second locomotive after Flying Scotsman to circumnavigate the globe. The restoration of 4079 at Didcot was carried out entirely by a group of 20 volunteers; manager Drew Fermor said they were determined to work at a high standard while minimising costs. The original plan was
