Is it possible to replicate the nose of this train (do not have an example) with a 3d printer and autocad??

Yes, if you have the skill to model it. Printing is the easy part. For the best detail, use the finest setting. It will print a lot slower, but it will come out very nice. I'd print it upright with supports on the inside (if needed).

There are plenty of examples (like this) on thingiverse.
