My personal preference would be right to the ceiling: if you're the sole operator, there's no need for seeing beyond what you're doing, and even if you plan on having multiple operators, I'd think that a low backdrop would destroy the illusion of distance that we all strive so hard to create. Rather than it being claustrophobic, I think it would help to focus your attention on the train which you're operating.
