Dave here, and I have good news. NWSL released the following today:
========
NorthWest Short Line Press Release
For Immediate Release

NorthWest Short Line is pleased to announce that the entire line has been acquired by an NWSL employee, effective September 3rd, 2019. All existing back orders will be filled, and NWSL will be open to new orders as soon as the new websites are rolled out; the primary website nwsl.com will carry forward as the primary contact point. The line is expected to carry forward largely unchanged although the company will no longer offer phone support. NWSL will be headquartered in Kila, Montana, located near Kalispell, and the new address is PO Box 219, Kila, MT 59920. Email contact is through the website.

It didn't get retired.  You posted it in the Crew Lounge.  One of the mods moved it here to be more appropriate and have more exposure.

Right.  It's the 3rd post above, but because it was posted a few minutes after jpec posted his in the Crew Lounge, it dropped into chronological order when I merged the threads here.  No offence intended - just tidying up.

With all cottage industries making unique and very useful model RR products closing shop in the last few years, without the void being filled, this is a great news!

Good news! I hope the pioneer of aftermarket N scale metal wheels can now produce some new 33" & 36" wheelsets in popular axle sizes because they're not really available these days :(
