What time period are you interested in? Transition I presume, based off of the parts you've mentioned?
This evening, I was working on an 1895 Carter Bros passenger car truck. Using a shop drawing of the original, plus a few photos, and then tracking down various things such as standard dimensions for a 3/8" round bolt head (approx. 0.8" in dia and 0.2" tall in the middle). I drew the round head bolts and applied 11 of them to one of the passenger car truck sideframes along with (6) 5/8" bolt heads with 1.5" washers.
I highly recommend starting with things such as standard NBWs and other detail parts. Learn to draw them before tackling something more complicated.
