Are you trying to move the wheels by hand with the motor connected to them? If so then the wheels not moving is normal. Most MTH locomotives do not have back driveable gear sets, so the wheels will only turn if the motor turns them. This is in contrast to Postwar Lionel locomotives which had back driveable gear sets (i.e. turning the wheels will turn the motor armature).
