Tobias and the Half-Pariah is a 2014 fan-made action film directed by Tines Sensahthe. Based on the Railway Series Book: No. 7: Toby the Tram Engine by the Rev. W Awdry, and the TV series Thomas and Friends by Britt Allcroft, the film retells the story of Toby's arrival at the North-Western Railway.

The film was released on YouTube on August 24, 2014 online and it received high praise in the comments, despite the mild criticism from some users.

Plot
Tobias, more commonly called Toby, was a small little tram engine who worked on his tram line with his faithful coach Henrietta. But hard times came, and the tram line shut down. Toby thought it was the end, but when a stout gentleman came to the railway one day, Toby's life changed forever. He was taken to Sodor, and began a new life. He soon began discovering he was stronger and faster than most of the other engines, much to the dismay of one express engine Gordon. He was so hailed, he was allowed to pull the express himself. But Toby's power is not without cause - and effect. His powers were ill-begotten, and another engine faced the worse end of the equation. Now this engine is after Toby and his power, and Toby will have to come to grips with what he is, what it means for the others, and how his life will change on the North Western Railway.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) The filming in Trainz Simulator 2009: World Builder’s Edition is amazing, as well as the editing.
 * 2) Great soundtrack.
 * 3) The story is well written.
 * 4) Amazing voice acting.
 * 5) The choices of the routes are also great.
 * 6) The original face textures are well made.
 * 7) A lot of moments are well made and heartwarming.
 * 8) References to the Railway Series and the TV series were made.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The portrayal of the villains like Montague (Portrayed by Duck), Mavis and Atherton (Portrayed by Bear) can make viewers automatically mistake them for the real characters from the Railway Series and the TV series.
 * 2) Despite the filming in Trainz Simulator and the editing being amazing, there are occasional goofs.
