The Railway Man, Eric's Soldering Iron & Wooden Sign

original movie prop

Production made soldering iron & the timber sign that Finlay is making (with the iron) in order to hide the real use of the soldering iron (building the radio) from their captors. This scene didn't appear in the final cut but it appears in the script. It's a shame really as I feel it added something to the story.  I've included the cut pages of script in the pics. These pieces were included with a number of props & costumes that I acquired direct from the production.
