When I did something similar, I think the metal joining the center rail of the four tracks was a single piece.
Other than that, I don't see why your plan would not work.

Yeah, it's an 027, so there is a single plate under there. I did some of these years ago, though they weren't secured to a layout. The plate will need to have two opposing legs cut, and a piece of insulated wire soldered form a bridge.
