The clearance height under the bridge depends on what "bridge" you are talking about. They can vary, and there are also the viaduct track pieces....
I am assuming you mean including the underside of the module. This is where I think many people set themselves up for trouble, by not sealing both...
I'm not sure how you would reverse direction with this step-down unit, since it has specified + and - input and output terminals. - Rich K.

The recent Tomix shinkansen sets have trainlined (interconnected) wheel pickup the length of the train. That pretty much eliminates hesitation and...
