Might be workable for a model railroad.  Balancing the weight would be a minor issue (empty track vs loaded tracks).  That having been said, the space requirement would still be about the same as a traditional flat yard with a not-as-traditional (in the US) sector plate.  I guess it would be useful in the place of a helix (you could put a staging yard directly below the main tracks and back a train into the wheel elevator, but then you could do that with a regular elevator).
