This cache was started as a tribute to the Birmingham Vulcan statue known as Iron Man and to send the Lego Iron Man travel bug around the country, including to cities where different facilities owned by a large manufacturing company based in Birmingham are located. The Vulcan statue consists of 29 cast-iron components with connecting flanges that are bolted together internally. The heaviest section is his whole head, which weighs 11,000 pounds. Iron forgemen designed and executed the connection details for the statue, which originally had no internal framework and was self-supporting. The grey iron castings were made in Birmingham entirely from locally-produced iron.
This cache (a small Lock N Lock container) is not located at the statue, but has been put in this location with permission of the offices for the company that played a significant role in the refurbishment of this beloved Birmingham statue.
