Welcome to my new website! This is the home page for various sections of my hosted platform, which reflect at different websites I have for several ventures. This includes my model railroad layouts, my travel adventures, sites for railroads of my friends, event and organization sites, both past and present. All these are on Marek Mountain. And links to other sites I maintain separately. My name is Frolin Marek and I live in Boerne, Texas in 2023. Lived in San Antonio the 38 years before. Born and raised in Del Rio, near the Rio Grande. I grew up with the Southern Pacific railroad mainline in front of our farm, with an HO model railroad and a general luv of trains. A hunting trip with my father to Colorado when I was 8 years old, passing thru Chama, NM, lead me to a deep interest in Colorado narrow gauge railroading. A long time ago… in 1984, I started a dial-up via phone modem, public accessible service called… Frolin’s Bulletin Board Service. This was a simple message board, where people would dial in and post messages or read and reply to other postings. This ran on a TRS-80 Model 4 computer in my home, first in Victoria, then back in Del Rio, last years in San Antonio. This used a 2nd land line which I still have today. Years later… in 1993, I loaded my first web pages on the world wide wide platform. Over the years, my site expanded to include other “websites” to showcase model railroads of friends. These are sections of my site, under the Frolin .Net account. This includes around 24 domain names today (with 15ish or more in past, from past event sites I hosted) for direct links to those sites, with almost 48,000 files and 10gb of space, hosted on my platform. In 2024, I started redesigning my various pages, to modernize the websites to better adapt with new features and uses, including adapting to visitor’s devices (ie: wide monitor vs tablet vs smartphone). Along with handling files and photos (20 pictures in slideshow vs 1 off viewing). Some material will remain old style, like pictures taken 20 years ago in 800x600 resolution will still be in same. This modernization will take some time… I have out-lasted a couple software packages and today even new modern Hosting Server protocols. Thank you for visiting Marek Mountain, the new home page for various material I am hosting/sharing over my web hosting platform, and reading a little about me. Frolin
