Greg,
I've purchased from this seller. The quality and finish is far above any other out there. He does have early pre-WWII figures also. It never fails to amaze me. Some will pay, $1,300.+ for a locomotive and $500.+ for passenger sets then want to use "el cheapo" figures, diecast autos and dollar store buildings. These same people use the cheapest supplies for everything else.
WOW!!! They look great. Pricey, but great. I wonder how long before we will have the talking version.(with remote of course).
He had an auction which ended earlier today for an artist sitting at his easel painting a scene. Amazing detail and that figure was up to $180 when I last looked.

Very nice work. It goes along with the ole adage you get what you pay for. But for our purposes of filling a railroad platform, it would be very costly. I could see something like this for a special scene that is front and center on a layout where you really want to make a statement.
I think the technique is to first paint the entire figure flat black and then apply the colors sparingly. Quite an effect.
Now if they looked like 1940s-50s Americans I'd buy some...but they are oh so British
