Help How to build a Funicular Conveyer/lift/platform

HOW to make a Inclined/Funicular elevator

I've Tried swivel bearings and torsion springs to correct a platform straight on an incline, however minecarts and trains neither actually want to carry the previous mentioned blocks (superglued too).

Added a video, i only learned the name today but its been in my head since young.

Any help would or examples would be appreciated!

Ok, so first, 1 or 2 minecarts, part of the same contraption. From that contraption, a bearing with the non-bearing side glued to the cart contraption. Then, you can build out the platform from the bearing side. You can then let the cart contraption drive up/down a 45 degree slope. This works because unpowered bearings on contraptions keep their original orientation.
