This TV advert is currently being aired on Dutch TV stations. I thought that some of you may find this amusing, as it is model train related.  Although I somehow doubt that many layouts would have quite the suggested effect upon an electricity meter.

Sorry, I should have explained what's happening. 

 

Basically, the couple are trying to discover why their bill is so high, and the husband is going around the house plugging items in while the wife is watching the meter. As he moves around the house and plugs in each item he asks 'Is it this?', and his wife relies 'No' each time, until he plugs in his trains. At which point the meter goes mad, the wife exclaims 'That's it! What is it?', and the husband quickly replies 'It's your curling tongs', as the train passes by.  (Very rough translation, but that's the general theme.)
