Not certain about the B&O, but in general the differences are due to the baggage being owned by the RR & the passenger cars being owned by Pulllman. Also you have to consider the time frame. I suspect the image you have is the last color scheme used by the B&O, but not necessarily the only scheme.

The only photos that I can find was C&O passenger cars that had that big of a yellow stripe on top of the cars .Went clear back to the wooden cars that were made and found an all yellow baggage car for B&O that was it.

Again, I'm not an authority on the B&O, perhaps Rob A will comment, but yes they could be a match set of a particular train or era. Pullman ran their operations as a common car pool so they could be running the green and two-tone with the baggage and seat cars being the RR's in it's colors.

Or, did the railroads use only Parlor, Diner and Sleepers for these lines ?

I am finding a lot of photos of the B&O cars is this paint scheme. Check out the bottom link for some excellent photos. I pulled these real quick. Some date up until 1963.

This photo is really interesting. Note the two tone scheme and the more modern scheme that we saw on the baggage cars.

Yes coaches are coming. AZL is planning additional body styles of heavyweights.

I agree that coaches are very desirable. However if the train was run in multiple sections, the first would generally be all Pullman 1st class. At the moment, I'd be more interested in an appropriate loco.
