how do you check a loco to see if it works?

One reason that a powered loco's wheels do not rotate when forced may be that it has a worm drive somewhere in its drive train. Worms like to drive, not be driven. If, on the other hand, the loco uses a beltdrive or a stright gear train, then the wheels may drive the motor. I stand to be corrected, of course, but that's my 2 cents worth.
