Does the "mdf" in this case stand for "medium density fiberboard'?
Yes - Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF) is an engineered wood-based sheet material made by bonding together wood fibres with a synthetic resin adhesive. It is available in very fine thickness and N Scale Laser uses mdf 0.6mm [23 thou inch] thick. It works well for a number of N Scale buildings and accessories nscalelaser.com
The advantage that MDF has over 0.6mm wood veneer [that N Scale Kits use for our wood decks] is that there is no grain, so especially good for buildings and metal sided containers!
A number of the N Scale Laser kits will be on display and available for purchase at the NSE Convention at Pittsburgh in June 2017 at our booth.
