Founded in 1945, State Tool & Die began producing model railroad products in 1993 on the advice of well-known industrial modeler Dean Freytag. At that time, Dean noted a need in the market for round coil car hods for Walthers Coil cars and encouraged them to develop what would become their first product. Today they offer over 30 unique products including Po***ck Hot Metal Cars and the Universal Mill Car. All their high-quality kits are crafted in HO scale and are all proudly designed and manufactured in their own shop in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Oh, and they make a neat little lineside privy, too!
