Hey Stephen,
It really depends how you copied the repository.

Have a look on output of "git remote -v" command.
For me its:
connectorio     g...@github.com:ConnectorIO/plc4x.git (fetch)
connectorio     g...@github.com:ConnectorIO/plc4x.git (push)
origin  g...@github.com:apache/plc4x.git (fetch)
origin  g...@github.com:apache/plc4x.git (push)
Each time when I do git fetch or pull it defaults to "origin". If your
origin points your github fork then you might not see all branches
immediately.

I believe that quickest and dirtiest way is to do:

git remote add plc4x g...@github.com:apache/plc4x.git
git fetch plc4x
git checkout feature/modbusrtu

Best,
Łukasz
