Hello and welcome to the Forum.
I model SNCF and like you I found my enthusiasm was waning, in my case around 3 years ago. I changed tack completely and started modelling BR LM region in the 60s. However this interest soon waned as well due to inferior running quality, and I was drawn back to the superior, albeit more expensive SNCF models. However I've still kept the BR models so if I need to reinvent my enthusiasm I can do so without going on a spending spree.
I fully understand your waning enthusiasm, but would suggest you hang onto your Eurpoean models, you never know where your enthusiam will take you.
Like you I live on the Continent, in my case France, and I also have a hankering for good pies and beer (in my case Boddingtons which can be bought out here fortunately). Otherwise I can recommend Britsuperstore.com who will post out English food, in my case Bisto, Paxo and Coleman's mustard, (yes they do steak and kidney pies as well).
Happy modelling and eating
