Do I take it that these are just body kits requiring a chassis and bogies/wheels?

I have built a couple of IP kits in the past. There were some problems with the fit of the sides because the floors were fractionally too short. It was annoying but resolvable and I am happy with the results.
Since then - 2yrs ago the manufacturing process has improved for at least some of thier kits and generally the reviews have been good.

The recent IP kits are a big improvement over the earlier ones, they make some really nice kits. The only reservation I have is that their wheels aren't the best. Easy enough to use an alternative though.

If you're after coaches and you run track power, I would steer away from the older IP kits with white metal bogies. They can cause a lot of frustration in my experience. The newer kits have wooden bogies - sounds odd, but they're supposed to work really well.
edit - there's a good article on building IP coaches in the April edition of Garden Rail magazine.
