Is NWSL still in business?
I'm trying to find the 90-30 Angle Guide.
Does anyone know a source for this part.

Victor I emailed and tried to call them. The number I have for them is (406)375-7555. Is this the correct number. When I called it said no longer in service.

Their website suggests:
"***Please add info@nwsl.com and sales@nwsl.com to your email's "safe list" and check your spam folder for our responses***

Just a thought.

If you're thinking of ordering direct, be warned that their lead time is VERY long. After waiting over a month for some O scale stuff last year I canceled the order and bought it at P&D Hobby, which had it in stock and shipped the next day.

Many small companies only make runs when needed so they dont have much back stock on the shelves tying up money. I would try one of there dealers first then the mfg that's also how hobby shops stay in business. I know the people who run a hobby shop along with owning PSC and some other train detail supply companies. A year ago went thru there entire operation its worth, if possible, to do the same while in the area.  In there other area, not the hobby shop store by it, Is where they produce things like the PSC parts line and have all the machines to do it. In the same building is also there stock and shipping department. To see racks and racks of small parts one then understands what it takes to get part made, stocked and shipped. Its called PF&S Railroad supply north of Paso WA.
