Has anybody here experiences with using RP 25 wheelsets on Tillig Elite HO scale track? Since the track is european style, i donĀ“t know as there are difficulties, especially on turnouts...

I use standard US rolling stock on Tillig Elite. That's RP25, right?
The only problems I've had is with my son's James the engine (from the Thomas the TAnk series) which has nasty big European wheels on it. This shorts in the turnout frogs.
I got around this by making the turnouts DCC safe http://www.wiringfordcc.com/switches_tillig.htm
Generally the Tillig stuff is beautiful. I especially love the fact the turnouts are flexible, so they can be "persuaded' into tricky locations. I think I'll stay away from the double-slip-switches in future, as the points need more force than my Tortoises can muster.
