O-54 is a 27 inch radius.  Even the HO people don't try to run full length passenger cars on such a sharp curve.  My HO club use a minimum 40 inch radius or O-80.  Full length O gauge cars cars will usually get around an O-72 curve and you may be able to do an O-63 curve.  O-54 is most likely just too sharp unless you are willing to make major changes to the cars.

GGD has started to advertise 18 inch passenger cars.  Evidently there have been many requests for GGD cars that are shorter than scale length.  You might want to contact GGD and ask if they are going to make B&O 18 inch cars.  If they are, you may want to sell your full scale cars  and apply the money toward a purchase of the 18 inch cars when they become available.  The 18 inch cars should get around O-54 curves.  NH Joe
