There are several different things that could be occuring here.  To determine what is happening you will need a multivolt meter.  The first thing you will want to check is that the motor is isolated from the rails.    You will also need to set your locomotive up for DC operation (re-install lightboard or shorting plug depending on type DCC ready locomotive) and check the running current and stall current. DCC Ready does not necessarily mean that you can just plug in a decoder.  Especially with older run locomotives like yours.
