In the latest locomotive drawings I've been working on, I've started looking up the variations in trucks depending not only on the time they were made, but also on the foundry. The most famous differences are probably the readily visible Adirondack vs. GSC/Rockwell/Atchison castings of GE 3-axle trucks, but I've found that other trucks show more numerous (but more subtle) variations.
I'm still early in my research, but so far I've compiled the variations I've observed in EMD Blomberg trucks, complete with drawings:

I hope eventually to cover all major locomotive truck types.
