I'm no expert on tuning forks, single or double, but the first thing I notice about your plan is the pair of right hand points toe to toe creates a right-left-right-left reverse curve. Assuming you're using fairly tight curves (second radius etc), this might make shunting less reliable or wagons more prone to buffer lock or derail. Unless there's a specific reason to do it that way, I'd use a left and a right point, to give a smoother look and smoother run through the pointwork. 

Maybe I can use Peco SL-97 small Y point insulfrog ?

Now it's showtime !

I borrowed this idea:

Right here:

Thanks. You're right about the points but I don't have a better solution yet.

That looks like a back to back inglenook! If you have two locos you could shunt one end, then once you’ve arranged everything spin it round and shunt the other end.

You're absolutely right ! I'm going back to the plan A or maybe to the plan B.

If you used dcc and two controllers you could cause chaos as to people try using the same line to play together!!

Another idea with more shunting possibilities:

A 3D view:

I could do that. But a double or single slip costs £33. Two Peco setrack points cost £18. And I have a few of them.

Many moons ago I had a Hornby crossing...until I lost my extremely limited patience and dump it in the trash bin.

Thanks. A wise gentleman in another forum gave me this idea for my track plan:

Thanks for your reply. I want to use a bridge (a tunnel is not a very good idea I guess) as a scenic divider just in the middle of the layout. It will be a goods yard (or maybe a junk yard  ).

Hello,
Inspired by many beautiful micro-layouts on RMweb, I decided to create my very first "double tuning fork" layout. Is this the right name for my layout? I don't know yet. Dimensions are 4 'x 10 ". I need a bridge or tunnel in the middle of my layout. All comments, and advices are welcome. Anyway, here is a 3D view of my project.
