Printable HO american flags

Apr 16, 2004 5 Replies

I have an extensive collection of Model Railroader and Model RR craftsman mags. I remember seeing a page, probably in Model Railroader, that had American flags in different sizes for different scales. You could cut them out and fold them in half so they could be placed on a flag pole.



I wanted to print the page on my copier so I could use the flags on some boat models, but of course I can't remember where I placed the page in my files.



Anyone have an idea what issue of MR had such a page or can point me to a web site that has a page of printable HO flags?



Thanks, Ed


Check one of the 1976 issues. They might have done it for the bicentennial.

This is a direct link to a PDF file of current USA flags from Tonys Train Exchange. Right click and choose "save target as."

If you can't find what you're looking for, why not make your own? Scan a picture of the flag you like, make a copy of it and then simply rotate and reverse it and place it above the original scan. If your program allows you to, group the two pictures and you'll then be able to perfectly resize both to any size you like.

Why the particular flag info from Model RR mag was important is that it had flags that appeared to be flowing in the wind. Once you cut them out all you had to do was glue it around a flag pole rope. When I finally did find the sheets which I had misfiled under electronic projects (paper filing system), I came up with two issues, one for 48 star and another for 50 star flags. If anyone wants a copy of the 50 star flag sheet, email me and I will forward it as an attachment.

I checked my personal index.

MR, July '84, page 98.
