Andy, the Lionel #314 is actually quite a different bridge:
The Lionel bridge has die-cast sides with a plate steel bottom riveted on. The Marx bridges are all of pressed tinplate. The Lionel 314 measures 4-1/2" wide by 10" long, while the Marx bridge is larger at 5-1/4" wide by 12" long. The Marx 1305 is actually large enough to use with Standard Gauge if you wish.
