| End of the Line, the site in
its various guises and locations on the web - vcom,
wigancrdc and eventually wnxx - between its inception in
1999 and summer 2012, when the site evolved, still forms the
core of the site as it is today.
From a peak of nearly 800 locomotives in store at various
locations around the UK during 2005 the total has slowly
been dropping but, even by mid 2012, the locomotives in
storage total was still above 350.
As a website End of the Line had gradually been evolving
into a more general news site as the years progressed. After
being made redundant during April 2012 it was decided that
the obvious thing to do would be to restructure WNXX into a
general UK traction news and data website and to go down the
commercial route.
As ever, the last few lines of the message that was on
the old index page still stands today in that "Your help in
keeping these records up to date is required, and in many
cases invaluable, so a massive 'thank you' to everyone who
has contributed so far and continues to contribute to this
day."
