There also appears to be a small model:

Thanks for promoting my photo. ;-)
I finally got round to going to this little display (somewhat
overshadowed by the larger, brighter cupcake stand next to it), and
took a few close-up pics of my own. Obviously I know that this isn't a
scale model of an actual proposed train, but just from a firm of
designers, but I had a few observations on the model, FWIW:
This pic seems to confirm the absence of a driver's cab:

Perhaps that's just one end of the rolling stock?
It's the driving end.
Noted.
The attendant is shown in the passenger saloon.
This is supposed to be a Heathrow-bound Piccadilly Line train, but I
see no space for luggage:

Early days. It really does, however, look like at 38TS Mk II
Also, it doesn't have the standard Tube livery. I wonder if this is
just the designers indulging themselves, or is TfL contemplating a new
livery for the new trains?
Indulgence, I'm guessing.
They were commissioned by TfL, so it would be odd that they seemingly
ignored TfL's current livery.
I don't know, then.
Where are the wine pictures from, BTW? I myself am partial to Rioja.
Bodegas Marqués de Riscal, Laguardia.

It's probably one of my favourite wines, though I am by far no connoiseur.
