Do not be so down. I see most of your post and it seems like your looking for the newest and best thing being released. I to cannot a ford those new item and buy basically junk. Fix them up and get them ready. I do not have a layout and put track on the floor every once in a while. but I would suggest looking for a basic starter set fron the 70/80’s and running that on the floor. This may not be exactly what you want but it is getting you familiar with items. Tubular track is a good start. The starter sets can be found under $50.00, just have to look or ask on the forum. On the starter sets I would make sure ther is a ac operated engine and a transformer with a ac output. Do not want to sound mean or anything. Just get something to try. If money is tight ask if a anyone has any old rolling stock they can donate to you
