I wondered about the double chimney, and the painting itself. The chimneys could be lowered to lie alongside the boiler.

Based on drawings published in Industrial Railway Record 59 (April 1975), the painting omits, because details are not known, the winch that lowered and raised the chimneys and also the overall casing originally fitted to avoid the locomotive’s frightening animals.

From an entry in Roger Farnworth's blog. (Feb 2019, postscript.)

(There is a famous 'Penydarren locomotive' but that's not it.)
