I wouldn't use MDF for subroadbed, mainly because it isn't meant to be nailed into, or even screwed into, unless holes are pre-drilled close to optimum size. Also although it 'machines' well, this really applies to tablesaw,CMS, drill press and router table work. Cutting MDF shapes with a jigsaw is no fun.Plywood is best for the initial work, and any changes later. <br />I use MDF for general carpentry projects like drawers and drawer fronts. Only place I use it on the railroad is for bases for buildings. It's really good for that.
