Try this:

Give all your thumbnails the same classname, and then:

        $('.thumbnail').click(function (){
            var thumbNail = $(this);
            var thumbPath = $(this).attr('src');
            var crd = $(this).attr('title');
            $(this).attr('src', 'images/loader.gif');
            $('#bigimg').fadeOut('slow', function (){
               $(this).load(function() {
                  $(this).fadeIn();
                  $(thumbNail).attr('src', thumbPath);
               });
               $(this).attr('src', crd);
            })

        })

You need to use jQuery.load to tell you when the image has finished loading.

The load event is sent to an element when it and all sub-elements have been completely loaded. This event can be sent to any element associated with a URL: images, scripts, frames, iframes, and the window object. http://api.jquery.com/load/

<script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery(function (){
        jQuery('#data').find('img').each(function(){
            jQuery(this).click(function (){
                var crd = jQuery(this).attr('title');
                // $('#loader').show();
                jQuery('#bigimg').fadeOut('slow', function (){
                    jQuery(this).find('#imnew').attr('src', 'images/' + crd +".jpg")
                    .load(function() { 
                                    $('#loader').hide();
                                    $('#bigimg').fadeIn()

                   });
                })
            })
        })
    })
</script>
