MDF is heavy and pretty dense. I don't think it would be suitable for roadbed.

While I should feel lucky to be able to get homosote in sorthern California, I was very unhappy with the surface of the sheet. We have all commented on various ways to deal with the uneven thinknesses, but this last batch of sheets were all pretty irregular. Thank goodness this is the last sheet as the rest of the track will be on homobed. Question I have for anyone in the group to comment on is: has anyone tried to use MDF board instead of homosote? I saw it next to the homosote, and it was so smooth and even. Same price ($37) but smooth. Does it have any ability to hold spikes, and does it have any sound deading properties?
