Prep a live steam Shay for sale

I purchased a 2nd hand shay. I was told it was seldom used, I have run it just one time and now need to send it to a good home! The track I ran on was elevated, but I am not sure if it was ever on the ground where the running gear was subject to dirt and grit. What is the best way to flush out a drive train? A spray can of WD40 and then re-lube with light oil?

Shay was from Accucraft’s first run.

Do you plan to run it before you sell?

Just let the new owner do the flush and lube. Lend all the info you know about the engine, put it up for sale. My 2 cents.
