That makes good sense now that you explained. I will do the same thing, since I won't be able to buy all my track and switches at once. Get some trains running, then add the yard, sidings later.
If you said earlier you will be moving soon, I missed it or forgot. What are the size of the pieces of layout that you will be moving? Oh you're a young guy, you can probably pick the whole thing up and squeeze it through the sliding glass doors. ;-)
