Hoi Gaurav,

you can use different kinds of software, for desing a locomtive boge. I think you should use a 3D program, because you can do a lot of calculations with it, but al is depending of the knowledge you have and how good you are able to work with the 3D program.
I should use Inventor, because I am used to work with that program.
If you want to try a program, this is a link for students, where it is possible to install a full version of Inventor ( or other ) for free.
