Nice looking loads. I have several of those Intermountain flat cars too, I like the wood decking, the only grumble (2 actually) is 1: the grain in the center planking is across the boards instead of running longitudinally with them and shows once stained or colored. 2: I wish they were all supplied loose for the modeller to attach after weathering the car and them. The tiedown grooves are usually pretty rusty and bare of paint and would be so much easier to do without the decking in place.
I also have some of MTH's similar 60' HTTX flats, and they are a superior product to IM's, but have plastic boards that also are separate to the car's construction, also unfortunately glued on. I really did a hunt for them when I was after them, cleaned out what I could find and that the dealers would post to me. They were a 2008 run, but haven't seen them do any since.
