Building a $500 Layout
#14
You might not need a backdrop. If you have buildings along the overpass (think of a steep hill, like San Francisco). On one side you have one style of building and on the other, you have another style. You can even combine the buildings on the other side into one. Art Curren from Model Railroader did an article on this their 50th Anniversary Issue and years earlier in Railroad Model Craftsman.

If you are modelling New Jersey, don't worry. There are plenty of hilly areas.
