Lionel Centipede: Disappointed

I received my Baldwin Demonstrator Locomotives (factory sealed) this evening and unpackaged them as soon as I closed the door. What awaited inside was disappointing. BOTH windshields were cracked and punched out, the breaking point was virtually identical on both windshields. I am shocked as these were packaged extremely well, or at least seemed to be. I've fished out the pieces I can with needle nose but a few are still in the cabs. The other major issue is the fan noise on one of the units. It sounds like a box of rocks and completely drowns out the sound system. As it stands, I am very displeased with these very expensive engines. Hopefully Mike Reagan or someone from Lionel can chime in, as the failure point on both windshields is quite similar, and I will also be needing a replacement pair of windshields. Any suggestions for how to fix the fan noise or even turn the fans off would be appreciated.  These really are beautiful pieces, just need to get them 100%!
