Haven't been to our only "nearby" box store, Wal-Mart lately to see if train sets were in.  There are a number of sets at the LHS.  Like any other aspect of model rring you get what you pay for.  There are good, better and best sets.  An alternative to purchasing a set is to purchase a track pack, which may include a couple of switches.  Then purchase a better quality power pack, loco and rolling stock.  It may cost a little more, but you can choose more specific items

Just a thought.

Good luck,

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.
