Rick:

I just received over $800 worth of parts from PSC, with only one item backordered.  The new and improved prices certainly jarred my preserves, but they are solidly producing now.

The N&W inspection cover is in the Precision Scale catalog, https://www.precisionscaleco.com/ It is part PSHO-32512, page 57 in their on-line steam locomotive catalog. 
Current price @5.00.
Weather or not it is in stock is a good question.  PSC was sold to new owners last year.  They do sell direct, but there is a minimum charge.  It is worth looking thru their catalog because they have some other N&W parts, like a locomotive pilot and some domes.

Also check out the 6000 series Cal-Scale parts on the Bowser website.  The many parts were made for brass imports and will be dropped as they sell out. 
There are just item numbers and photos of items, so you gotta know what you are looking for.  I have found that standard C-S and Cary parts are not always in stock at Bowser and some are being discontinued.

Good Luck
