Erol (Gurkin, I believe) used to be all over the forum and also wrote pieces for the LCCA publications several years back. Then he fell completley off the radar. Perhaps he's too busy "lawyering" to be talking trains? A search showed me that his last post here was in November... but that posting was a fluke as his activity appears to have really stopped a year earlier in 2011. He always had good information and observations, I thought.
