Model train folks, inexpense HO set for Xmas decoration

Many moons ago as a tyke we set up a toy train to run around the Christmas tree.
Just want a simple low cast loop around the old tree.
We have cats (watching them play with it will be part of the fun) so nothing fancy or expensive.
Looking on ebay something can be had for $50-$60
Options are Lionel, Tyco, Bachman, and some off brands.
Any recommendations of brand to look for or avoid?
As said this is just for around the Christmas tree so it will get setup and tore down every year so ease of assembly/disassembly is a must.

Dad did build us a 4'x8' HO setup on a sheet of plywood in the garage when we were kids, but I don't want anything that fancy.
