Andrew, I had visited a layout awhile back where the owner had hired an artist to paint a downtown scene on the backdrop. It was a much closer view of the downtown area, and was about 3 feet wide and 18 inches tall on the backdrop. There wasn't a noticable loss of perspective when viewing from various angles, so I think that will be okay.
An idea I will try is to solidly tape a draftsman's T-square to the backdrop above the area, and use draftsman's triangles to keep the vertical lines straight.
