Though I am not an active PW guy... I was at one time until eventually my roots in HO won out.
Having said that, I note that there's just something relaxing and appealing about PW to me. Not for sure why, but I think it's because I like the heft, their simplistic and solidly-built nature, their smells (both sitting and running), their sounds they produce... and likely all of this is enhanced by their history and legacy.
I will say that it was great using actual screw drivers and tools to work on them! (You ought to see the tiny tools, drills, files, and such, I used to work in HO!)
So, I think a personal appreciation of PW is likely going to be with me the rest of my life, for its been with me for a long time. Perhaps "one of these days" I'll have another PW set... but I honestly don't know where I would put it! In a perfect world, I would have several buildings, each filled with a layout that caters to a specific interest!
