Jack is a friendly and enthusiastic front loader.
Bio[]
When Jack first arrived on Sodor he worked with the Pack to clear room for railway lines. Jack did well with Alfie - that is, until he tried to take some stone up a ledge but lost balance and rolled over. Jack learned his lesson, and redeemed himself by holding up a collapsing bridge until Thomas had passed over, at the cost of damaging his arms. Jack has since become part of the Pack.
Persona[]
Jack was like a toddler at first, who was still learning about the world and how to stay out of trouble. He is brave and won't take any hassle, as seen when he stood up to Max when the latter was bullying him and Alfie.
Basis[]
Jack resembles an Nuffield Tractor.
Livery[]
Jack is painted red with the top half of his cab painted cream. He has his number painted in white on his sides.

Trivia[]
- In some promo sketches of the Pack, Jack is seen with a backhoe arm and bucket. These were most likely drawn before the models were made or the episode aired, to avoid any likeness to Scoop from "Bob the Builder".
- An interview with Phil Ferhle gives a very different reason: "...if a story required Jack to be digging and interacting with another character working at the same time, his face would be facing away from the action. For story purposes, it was important to feature the faces as much as possible; thus, the back-hoe was removed."
