HOseeker.net has added Mantua Information. This includes the 1941, 1942, and 1947 Mantua handbooks.
Check out the price increases between 1941 and 1942?
Also, take a minute and look at 1942 Handbook Page 36.

There's a lot of good info in these catalogs. For example I think you could make an educated guess that Tyco stopped including handrails with some of the Alcos and Jeeps and that some of the rolling stock suffered from the same lack of added detail parts. The box art and photos in the catalogs show examples of the locos without handrails. Interestingly enough I have a nice Alco, from the '60s, that I would say never had its handrails installed by its original owner and I'm confident that it was shipped with that kit. You could call this Model Rairoad Archeology.
