Just put a drop of light oil on all the moving parts.  On the bottom of the trucks you will find round plastic plug, pry it out to expose the gears inside.

Add some grease to the gears and replug each truck.

Be sure to use plastic compatible lubes such as those available from Bachmann.

Enjoy your shay!!
