As it seems odd that some units have horns, number boards but others do not.While everyone who is a railfan would certainly love a set of number boards and a horn, I don't think that theft and trespassing on railroad property is the way to do things.......
4136 I believe it was even had its entire rear headlight missing when I was there.[/quote)
It doesn't surprise me in the least. However its obviously clear that you need to trespass to get on this location. I recall someone else posted about this earlier?
Not sure about NJ Transit, but here in Boston area, the MBTA has authorized and a good relationship with a local business to operate their MBTA Gifts store.

Although some items are expensive, they have frequent sales and are good people to deal with. Neat to have your own station sign that was pulled from service, or subway rollsign, bus stop sign, maps etc. I wonder if NJ Transit/LIRR and others in that area have similar programs or could start something. I know NYC and SEPTA have websites where you can buy old signs etc.
