If you run your own server, I assume you have some familiarity with HTML..
When I've done pages like that, I set all my pictures in a subfolder, and
create thumbnails that go in the folder with the page index file.  Display
the thumbnails in a table in the left column and explanatory text in the
right column, and link the thumbnails to the full-size photo.  Se, for
instance, http://fishplate.org/vehicles/spitfire/FM72xxx/

Possibly, some are "legacy" parts - something that keeps getting used year
after year, even as new clips must be designed for other uses (to become
legacies themselves...)
