Southern Pacific Switching Layout

[FCIN]

It looks like I am not going to be able to work on the layout for a few months due to the leaking on the layout.
I have been thinking that I could remove the part of the layout that is being leaked on, and build a layout just using the two HCDs that are across one of my walls.
Or I could just remain patient and just build freight-car and structure kits until summer comes.

Justin;
Which part of your current plan was not effected by the water leak?     If it's the upper portion of the plan, couldn't you just go ahead and work on that and allow for adding the wing at the right once you get the leak problem fixed?
Of course using the time to work on your freight car fleet or build some structures would put your time to good use too, but being able to actually do some switching on whatever part of the bench work you can use would probably keep your interest peaked.
