I have not but I did see an article or photo on a "ruptured helix" where one level sticks out more than the others and is scenicked.
There was an article in MRP about a fellow who models the Norfolk & Western in N scale (you might recall the article more because he had tenders custom cast so he could put power units in them so his 2-8-8-2s could handle prototype loads). His helix was beautiful -- precision built, very large, and painted an attractive gray color. It would be worth a layout tour to see such fine craftsmanship (and his real scenery was very very nice as well).

Helixes are usually hidden. At best, they are places to stage trains. At worst, they are a lot of wasted space and a place that takes forever for the trains to emerge.
Has anyone ever showcased their helix?
Better yet, has anyone ever scenicked one?
