I built the Scalescenes Freighter a couple years ago:
T030 Cargo Ship - Scalescenes

But it's a bit large for the area that I have planned.

I figured out the lighting for both floors.
   

I bought this roll of LED strip lights off ebay a number of years ago. It will supply me with enough lights for a long time. 

   

I cut two, three led strips off and solders some leads.

   

Then I test threaded them through some styrene tubing. The plan is to put some tubing in the corner and then run the wires up the tube to both floors.

   

I painted the tube to match the walls and glued it in. I'll touch up the floor before adding the details.
   

Speaking of the floor, I glued the rear wall on and then test fitted the second floor. I had to remove some material to clear the lighting tube.

   

Then I had to figure out the stairs from the first to second floor. I'm using Central Valley's star and ladder kit. 

   

It took a bit of figuring as to the length of stairs and where and how big to cut the hole in the second floor. I made the stairs start right beside the rear doors, that gave me a point to calculate where everything else would land. 

   

and when it was all said and done, my LP can now get to the engineering offices on the second floor.
