Remove the cab by taking off all the screws around the metal frame at the bottom. Remove the motor screw from below as John has suggested. Look for dirt, debris, and rotate the motor shaft and the wheels on the trucks by hand to see if they are free or if anything is binding. Its a very simple drive mechanism that you will be working on and it should be easy to pinpoint an fix the problem.

I recently had an issue like this with a Williams PA that I had stored for several years without running.  The grease had become like glue.  I removed the truck and took off all of the sideframes, couplers, traction tires, etc.  Soaked the assembly in mineral spirits overnight and rinsed with fresh spirits.  After this it worked freely.  I re-greased and all has been well for a couple of months.
