N scale Kato N&W passenger cars?

[NW Modeling List]

It took a month, but my friend finally gave me the item number for that N 
scale Kato N&W passenger set.  The number is 320153346906.  Here is the 
link:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320153346906&ru=http://toys.search-completed.ebay.com:80/320153346906_Model-RR-Trains_W0QQcatrefZC5QQfbdZ1QQfclZ3QQfisZ2QQflocZ1QQfposZ43229QQfromZR14QQfrppZ50QQfsooZ2QQfsopZ32QQfssZ0QQftrtZ1QQftrvZ1QQnojsprZyQQpfidZ0QQsaaffZafdefaultQQsabfmtsZ0QQsacatZ479QQsacqyopZgeQQsacurZ0QQsadisZ200QQsaobfmtsZexsifQQsargnZQ2d1QQsaslcZ0QQsaslopZ1QQsofocusZbsQQsorefinesearchZ1QQfviZ1

Since it is a completed item, you may have to be logged in to view it.  The 
box is labeled Burlington Northern, and the seller apparently had no clue 
what he had.  (note the "Powhatan Turo")  Is it probably safe to assume that 
these were custom painted by an individual?
