It may seem like a bit of a "pat" answer, but you need to get (or build) the size that will work for what you need. Building a subway system from scratch at 1:15 so you meet the size requirement may become expensive quickly depending on whether there needs to be animation, movement, lights, etc. For a quick exterior shot of the train traveling between stations, I would wager that an HO scale diorama would probably work. There are some very realistic models here - just look through some of the threads - the detail is astonishing.
Do you have any more information from your crew that could tell us more? Conceptual drawings? Storyboard sketches? Even the part of the script that includes the scenes where the train is required? It is hard to give advice when the only solid requirement is a single dimension...
