Save most all scraps big enough to at least make a set up block. Smaller pieces 6X4 and smaller also make a good basesfor silicone molds. Add a glue gun and free postal boxes and you can make most any size mold box.Matt B

Years ago, when we made tracks from 3/4" MDF, I sandwiched two slabs together and made an electric guitar. I did all the cutouts on one slab, and left the back almost alone. I bought a neck and put it all together. Sounded like solid metal, not in a good way. So, it hung on the wall for years, and I slowly took parts off it for other projects. When I needed the neck, that was it. In the trash it went. I think the neck would have torn off if it had strings on it all the time.

I used the excess when joining the track back together (had to cut a few inches each way to get enough braid to drop for tie-in) to display some four-packs of cars temporarily on the infield areas. You can see them in my posts/videos.
BUT...I suppose it depends on how often you run your cars. I'd be skeptical of flat spots if leaving long term in any display without putting cars up on a central 'jack stand', as opposed to leaving them notched in the slot too long and having all 4 tires resting on whatever surface.
Otherwise, table retaining walls and other strange scenery walls are where my extra mdf has been/will be used.Tony
