If I were you, I'd buy the cheapest set you can find, and then add to it bit by bit and as and when funds allow. Cheapest OO set I can find in the October 'Railway Modeller' is the 'Old Smokey' passenger set by Hornby. Expect to pay around £70, but for that you'll get track, a controller, a loco and coaches.

The fun really gets going when you start to add to it. Way back when I was a lot younger, I bought a cheap set and then began to buy bits and pieces as the weeks went by. After a couple of years I had eight locomotives, plenty of rolling stock and a triple circuit that could only be set up on my bedroom floor on a Sunday afternoon. It was never a layout as such, just a very large train set...but boy, it was fun!
