1. I guess most standard gauge collectors are familiar with the MTH Ives reproduction of the National Limited in a royal blue body and red roof. I recently saw a 4-car set in the exact opposite of that color scheme, also a reproduction with a red body and blue roof, a flip of the national limited. can anyone tell me which set this is?

2. What does it cost to re-paint the roofs of four cars plus the cab of the loco in state set size? Regards

Franks Roundhouse did custom paint for resale.

If looking at pictures, could it be a green roof making it a Christmas set.

You may be referring to this MTH set 10-5042 from the 2005 catalog. It was cataloged to run with a blue/red 408e.

Yeah. I remember that 408E. Reminds me of a patriotic theme.
