I too were in the doldrums for many years regarding model railroads. My trains and model kits have been in boxes for decades,always something that needed to be attended too. Then I retired a few years ago and started looking around for some hobby that was cheap and satisfying on a pension. Hey what about that box full of trains? Then the internet and finding Carl Arendt site about micro layouts and the feeling that I can do that! It's small cheap and I have models already so here we go again. I'm still interested in Astronamy and Armour modelling so who knows where I'll end up. But if I've learned anything in my 65 years hold on to you're interests you never know when it'll come around again
