Is anyone familiar with OK Engines brand Metal Passenger cars? I seen them advertised in RMC and was wondering how detailed they are.

Based on the website, these are very plain, undecorated cars. -

"OK Streamliner HO and O gauge passenger cars are sold undecorated, non-painted, and otherwise not detailed for specific "road" names. Detailing for the individual modelers' layout is his/her own responsibility. OK Streamliners provides a starting point with all metal, prototypical, scale, cars."

They do have the catalog online - it has a few photos.

Extruded

I want to think that these are aluminum extrusions with holes punched in for the windows.  Some kits had some parts, but the ones that I had were very basic.  Wood slab for floor, some blocks for under carriage detail and stamped sheet metal for ends.
