I just noticed on my 726 rr that there are two holes that appear To be for miniature flags. Is that what they are for? There is one hole on either side of the front of the boiler.
Lionel part #1885 (flag holder stanchion). My 726 RR has the black ones, but you can find silver colored ones also.

I believe Jeff@TTender.com has them in the 3 colors used back in the day, white, green, & red

what flags would have been originally flying on my 726 rr back in 1952?
I'm not sure they came with flags.
Personally, I'd fly the Jolly Roger.
Green for first section of a train and any sections that follow except for the final section which would fly red flags. White is for unscheduled extras. But on the Lionel Lines it's totally up to your imagination.
Same me, different spelling!

The grandkids run with checkered flags, just for fair warning.
Are there any American flags that size 48 star or 50 Star? if someone does make a 48 star flag that size I take that because the 50 star flag wasn't a thing in 1952! Lol
Hawaii didn't become a state until 1959.
I have not seen any american flags that size.
You might be able to print something that size but you better have a very high resolution printer.
