Hi cutting in New Zealand. As far as I can tell our pinex is the closest thing to homasote and our hardboard is similiar to masonite. As far as MDF/customwood is concerned, my present layout uses 9mm MDF for the subroadbed. Construction is cookie cutter style with support at 300mm spacing on the elevated area. Roadbed is 3mm closed cell foam glued to subroadbed and flex track is glued to the foam. All goes together really quickly. On this forum you will see that most people don't like MDF and prefer plywood but if you compare the price of plywood with MDF (in NZ) you will see that MDF is worthy of consideration.
