I've been hunting for a set of 027 passenger cars in a "local" roadname of B&O, C&O, Western Maryland or Chessie lately. While I was tempted by the MTH Chessie Rugged Rails 027 set of 4 cars, I really didn't want more than two or three cars for my small elevated loop.
I saw Nassau had the B&O 2 pack for $70. They only had one left and it went to me. Just as I was walking out to head to the office, the mail man showed up with the set. I quickly pulled one out. The other is still in the box. They appear to be a bit larger than the Lionel 027 streamlined cars. They have full interiors, including window shades in various heights. These are exactly what I was looking for. Even better, one is named for the town I live in (Potomac) although I'm sure it refers to the Potoamc River, just a few short miles from my home.
I didn't get them on the track yet but like I said - these are exactly what I was looking for. The price was right and they appear to be very nice cars. Only downside - no thumbtack couplers and it appears you can't open the couplers without an automated track section. Below is a quick iPhone photo. BTW, the packaging and ad called these "Streamlined Coach Cars" so that is what I thought I was getting...turns out one (below) is an observation car and the other is a dome car.
