A spin-off of Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends, Jack and the Pack was developed by producer Phil Fehrle in 2003. It did not receive a release until 2006 when it was released direct to DVD. The reason why the spin-off was never taken further seems to be because HiT Entertainment did not want it to conflict with their own series Bob the Builder when it bought the rights to Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends in 2002.

Ned gets bored of clearing rubble from a demolition site. Oliver is trying to knock down a wall with a wrecking ball, but he is unable to. He is fitted with a larger one, but he is still not able to knock the wall down. Meanwhile, Ned asks the foreman if he can help, but he declines by saying that it's Oliver's job. With that, Ned goes back to loading rubble, but he drops it onto the ground because he is thinking about demolishing. Back at Oliver, they fit him with an even bigger wrecking ball, but he still cannot knock it down. Ned is still thinking about demolishing and does not pay attention. He collides with the chimney which collapses onto the building with the wall that Oliver could not demolish. While the workmen cheer, some wood pieces (having to appear out of nowhere) start falling onto Oliver's roof, the corner of the destroyed building falls down, and Thomas is surprised to see his trucks being fully loaded.
