Flying Old Glory

The Flag flies 24/7 on my railroad and 24/7 in my front yard. Sometimes I wear the Flag on my chest, and on my sleeve.

An annual ritual in preparation for the 4th of July: putting flags on the locomotives.

I need to pick up some more, but there is one over City Hall and the Post Office

WOW, I've never seen a better looking flag on a layout. Looks real like that.

I've been trying for a while to figure out how to make a 'drooped' flag like this but have come up short.

Wouldn't look correct on my layout anyway. Even though I model the WW2 era, US flags weren't as common out in the sticks then as they are today. Maybe, though, I could model a flag pole at the Army spur once I get the Quonset hut done and in there...

Not exactly scale, but you get the general idea.  There is a flag on the front of my Firehouse in Brickerville.

This one.

Nothing better then Old Glory and Independence Day.

Very patriotic town! Nice!

Old Glory flies 24/7/365 at the baseball stadium.

I honor Old Glory with my two favorite hobbies.

Can't go wrong with those two hobbies for sure!

My plan was to create a large self-standing metal flag pole from a broken mini-umbrella spoke over the weekend and drape a paper flag from it.  The shape of the spoke tip would have been perfect, but there were just too many other train projects and so little time.

Instead, I flew these government-issue flags in celebration of Independence Day (and today's Team Track Tuesday post):
