Production

The plan was soon scrapped when HiT Entertainment took over because they saw it as a rip-off of their other construction-based series, "Bob the Builder". Twenty-six episodes were planned, but because of financial difficulties, only thirteen (half of the series) were filmed. The characters only appeared in two sixth season episodes, Jack Jumps In and A Friend in Need. In 2006 a DVD, Thomas' Trusty Friends/On Site with Thomas and Other Adventures, was released. Since then, The Pack has made appearances in The Great Discovery special, the twelfth season episode, Percy and the Bandstand.

Jack returned in CGI in the 2013 special, King of the Railway and appeared again in the second 2015 special, Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure, in which Alfie, Oliver, Max and Monty also returned. They have made sporadic appearances since.

For this series, large-scale models of Thomas and Percy were built. Two of these models are now on display at the Hara Model Railway Museum in Japan (previously on display at Thomas Town).

Head writer Andrew Brenner stated on his CV that he has worked on this series since 2010 which has since been removed for unknown reasons.
