==Disposal== Ownership of the 4D was transferred back to the Victorian Government's [[Department of Infrastructure (Victoria)|Department of Infrastructure]], and the set was moved under its own power to [[Newport Workshops]] in December 2002, for long-term storage.<ref>[http://www.vicsig.net/photo.php?filename=20021214-nps-4d.jpg Vicsig photo: "The 4D in storage at Newport Workshops" - 14 December 2002]</ref> By 2004, the set, which was once stored near the [[Australian Railway Historical Society]]'s [[Newport Railway Museum|railway museum]], was transferred to the western side of the workshops, for a potential return to revenue service. However, this did not eventuate, and the 4D remained in storage.<ref name=newsrailmar11/> In 2006, the 4D was purchased by [[RailCorp]] and stripped of parts compatible with the Tangaras. It was transferred by [[El Zorro (railway)|El Zorro]] to metal recyclers [[Sims Metal]], [[Brooklyn, Victoria|Brooklyn]] for scrapping.<ref>Melbourne 4DD train scrapped ''Railway Digest'' May 2006 page 17</ref>
