The stanchions (with holes) are there.

As a last resort. Lionel has them in stock in their parts dept. F units came with optional flags.
Last resort because they are $1.00 each plus the flat rate shipping.
Looks like you could print those on gummed shipping labels and wrap them around a wire.

Here's what's in the file, I shrunk it to 10% and it comes out about 5/16" wide. You can obviously scale it for different sizes. Also, you could repeat this graphic in Word a bunch of times and print a ton of these on one sheet.

Hi John, for us slow folks, how do you go about resizing them to make them bigger?
Mike, they're bigger in your post! 
Here's a lifetime supply of flags. To resize them, just remove all but one, size that graphic to the size you need, and then get busy copying it multiple times. I printed them on gummed shipping labels, came out perfect. Wrap them around a solid wire "post" and you have your flags.

Thanks John! I will work on them sometime soon! what size labels did you use if you don't mind me asking?
I haven't used them yet, I was going to measure the ones that came with one of my engines to see the size they should be.

When you get there, can you share?
It might be a while, I don't really need flags until my layout is finished. 
LOL Neither do I right now, I just thought you were working on it! I will be here when the time comes!

When getting my B&O F3’s put into original factory position, we ordered the flags from Lionel and they had them. I think these small flags still may be available. See what you think.

My Vision Big Boy didn't come with any flags. I've never seen flags with locomotives from the manufacture.
I received them with my Bigboy & Chalenger sometime back! Don’t know if they were included in the newer releases! They are pretty tiny in a separate tiny clear envelope !
