Interesting and unusual wagon loads, indeed. In my view (I was a professional pressure vessel engineer for most of my career) the cylindrical tank would have been a very low pressure or atmospheric storage tank for some liquid or other. The pressed ends are too flat a profile for any significant internal pressure. Your model look fine.

Ok, the round one does look a bit like a whisky still....... 

 

Nice prints, I keep my eye on 3d printing, one day.

I thought it looked a bit like a vital part of the Manhattan project myself!

I just hope MI5 aren't monitoring my internet searches while I was looking for pictures of stainless steel pressure vessels. Most seemed to be associated with the engines of ICBMs
