I have seen this in a couple forums but have no link, only ti other forums. He announce on Facebook I am told.
Not about Bachmann but the model railroad community.

After 60 years in business, NWSL will cease operations effective August 30th, 2019. The company will continue to take orders for in-stock products until July 1st, 2019. Closure is for personal reasons and sale of the business is not anticipated, although reasonable proposals will be considered."

Here's hoping someone will ante up and save the business.

I've bought a lot of stuff from them over the years when I was still doing HO. It's sad to see them go.

Yes it is. I started ordering when the company was in Seattle, Washington. The gear planning documents and Sagami motor documents were excellent, plus the tools. I built a few gear boxes with their stuff.
They will be missed if not one takes up the slack. More details in the MRH forums.

NWSL will be missed. They made the Cadillac of metal wheelsets, an extremely high quality product.
