I work for a millwork distributer, MDF (medium density fiberboard) will sag and swell in higher humidity, I used OSB (oriented strand board) on a recycled wood frame, top covered with styrofoam and scrap trim from work to hide the recycled wood. The wood came from pallets and shipping braces, the OSB came from packaging on the pallets. My last one was set up for 8 years with no problems and am currently rebuilding with the same materials. The reason I am rebuilding is that I moved. My train room is heated and air conditioned, and has its own dehumidifier. It is located in the basement of a house that was built in 1856. The first phase was built 3 years ago, and no problems, this winter the next section will be built.
