Help and advice re bachmann Two truck Shay

[dumpy]

I am charged with disposing of the G scale assets of a deceased neighbour. For this reason I cannot just give it away. His railway was battery powered and remote controlled. I know nothing about either being a LGB MTS person. All the other engines, battery packs and remote have gone but am left with this Bachmann Spectrum Two Truck Shay. The engine runs and has sound I am told. The manual says it also has a smoke generator. I presume there is no way I can test it on my track? I also need to put it up for sale. The only identical used version I have seen on sale is in the US at $500. Is this realistic?
Any help, advice, suggestions would be gratefully received.
A photo is attached and shows the connector to a bettery pack/remote control.

In a similar position myself.

Mossala Hill, late of this forum, had a three truck version, which he'd converted to battery with sound card.
He'd bought it via a well-known auction site.

His widow was not looking for "top dollar" and wanted to give our local group a good discount.
We sold it for £200 with a pair of log wagons. Widow thought "that was about what he paid for it".

Carnforth Models has one listed at £455.
