Pat,
I’m not sure what a drive block swap is. Does that mean swapping out a couple of the wheels with ones without flanges?

No sir, the drive block is the entire chassis …..the term drive block is what MTH parts calls the chassis…..they sell the chassis with the drivers ( wheels ) already pressed on,…..a drive block swap requires no special tools, ….it’s just nuts, bolts, & screws….if you’re truly in love with your model, ( that’s understandable) a drive block swap is a viable option…..the scale driver drive block has very good resale value on the secondary market…….you can get very close to breaking even as a DIY project …..I mean don’t get me wrong, it’s a bit of work, but there’s nothing really hard to do, …it’s just a lot to do….
