A quick google for modeltrainsweathered and closes shows that you have posted your claim that they have closed down permanently in at least two different model railroading forums, but I do not see any any actual announcements that they have closed down permanently, or that they were planning to close down permanently?
Hopefully just a temporary glitch - someone forgot to inform the service provider running the web site that the owner of the modeltrainsweathered.com forum had a new credit card to be billed, or someone dropped the ball on time-to-live for DNS entries in the connection with switching service providers, or a server crash at their service provider, or something like that. If so, it ought to be sorted out in a couple of days.
Time will tell.
