Reeves has them all:

You will have to ask if they will sell less than a full set.

Re: 5
Don Young published his drawings for 5" gauge Black Five in his periodical Locomotives Large and Small. Can look up relevant issues for you if you need.

Re: 5
Just looked at your pictures and agree the coupled wheels do look like Black 5s, but many of the other castings do not. Suspect you have a mixed bag of different model castings. In particular the brass or bronze U shaped horn castings are not typical of the DYD Black 5. And you also have too many single side horn castings. Can you post a pic from the opposite side of the bronze horns?

Re: 5
Thanks for pics. Definately not Don Young's Black 5 horns. Wondered if I could identify them for you but look too generic. Sorry. Altho, if they have a 1.25" wide slot roughly 1 5/8" tall and 7/8" thick I can confirm they'd be for 5" gauge. If you're not going to use them, I might be interested in buying them.

Re: 5" gauge Black 5 drawings
I took a few more pictures that I was hoping you could look at for me two are of the boiler with smoke box on. I'm not sure if it's the right boiler, as I am missing that page in the drawings. Another two are of the tender shell. And the last one is of some castings that I cannot identify.

This guy has LBSC's article on "Doris", a 3.5" ga Black 5. Might help some.
