''Tobias and the Half-Pariah'' is a hour-and-a-half (almost two if you count the credits) fan-made film made by [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKdOfFxC9AMdbNDWNQlxiqQ Tines Sensahthe]] from Website/YouTube. It's based on the works of Rev. W. Awdry, and uses elements from both ''Literature/TheRailwaySeries'' and ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends''.
->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.
So to simplify, it's basically a {{darker and edgier}} take on Toby's origin story covering how he arrived on Sodor.
A sequel, ''Tobias and the Arcane Merchant'', is currently in the works and was originally scheduled for release in August-December 2018, but it seems to have been in DevelopmentHell. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2-yvW2kalc teaser]] came out on Christmas Day 2020.
The whole film can be [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiVayBEn7Qs watched here]].

* ArcWords: "No excuses."
* BerserkButton: Toby's is whenever Henrietta is put in danger.
* BigBad: [[spoiler: Montague]] is this for the film, with Oliver, Atherton and Ludwig acting as his CoDragons.
* TheBlank:
** Henrietta, much like the character in the TV series (before season 18) and books (before book 41), does not have a face.
** Several of Montague's diesels don't have faces, as do a few of the steam engines that appear during the climax.
* BoomerangBigot: In the climax, [[spoiler:Montague]] calls [[spoiler:Toby a "freak" and "oddity"]] for being a hybrid engine... yet a hybrid engine is exactly what he wants to be.
* TheCameo:
** Alfred the B12 (from ''WebAnimation/SodorDarkTimes'') is one of the engines working on Sodor.
** Alice the Atlantic (from ''WebAnimation/SodorTheEarlyYears'') is also shown working on Sodor. From the same series, Peter the 8F and Sheffield the Austerity also appear during the final battle.
** Many minor and supporting characters from FanWorks, ''The Railway Series'' and the TV series appear frequently throughout the film as either residents of Sodor or members of [[spoiler:Montague's diesel army]].
* CoDragons: Oliver, Atherton and Ludwig are these to [[spoiler: Montague]].
* DemotedToExtra: Few other secondary characters, such as James, Edward, Henry, and Sir Topham Hatt, have a lot of screentime.
* DoubleAgent: [[spoiler:Oliver is established to be working on Sodor and known by Sir Topham Hatt while at the same time searching for Toby for Montague.]]
* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler: Pretty much how Toby gave the remaining diesels from the other railway a chance to work on Sodor after his confrontation with Montague.]]
* TheEndOrIsIt: [[spoiler: After the credits, following Montague's defeat, we see Oliver watching Tobias head off into the distance...]]
* FaceHeelTurn: Gordon is convinced into pulling one of these by Montague's diesels.

** A few characters are pushed to their deaths with rather explosive impacts.
** [[invoked]] WordOfGod says that [[spoiler: Gordon and Ludwig were blown to smithereens when they crashed into the engine shed.]]
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Subverted and played straight with Toby, whose eyes glow blue whenever he activates the [[spoiler: diesel half of his body. It's what allows him to kill Mavis.]]
* [[HalfHumanHybrid Half-Diesel Hybrid]]: [[spoiler: It's later revealed by Montague that Toby is a steam tram/diesel hybrid. This is how he was able to do things that no other tram engine can do.]]
* HeelFaceTurn:
** Henrietta convinces Gordon into pulling one of these as he keeps watch over them.
** Atherton and the remaining diesels pull one after [[spoiler: Toby defeats Montague]].
* HeelRealization: Gordon realizes where his grudge against Tobias has taken him after capturing Toby and Henrietta and Henrietta tells him how much he was really appreciated.
* HeroicSacrifice / RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler: Gordon buys Tobias enough time to escape from the diesels, but is killed when they push him into a shed at high speed with an oil tanker at the back, causing an explosion which makes the shed cave in.]]
* IJustWantToBeSpecial:
** Gordon just wanted to be appreciated for all he did for Sodor.
** Montague's motivation is a mix of this with IJustWantToBeNormal, as [[spoiler: he was a diesel prior to his accident]].
* IcyBlueEyes: Montague.
* InSeriesNickname:
** [[ZigZaggedTrope Zig-zagged somewhat.]] Most of the engines call Toby by his real name upon their first encounter with him. In subsequent meetings afterwards, they refer to him by his nickname.
** [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] in that [[spoiler: Duck is always referred to by his real name, Montague.]]
* MotiveRant: Montague has a short one during a discussion with Oliver.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone:
** Toby has this reaction after [[spoiler: killing Mavis at the Quarry]].
** Gordon also seems to have this reaction when Thomas tells him that Toby is going to collide with Percy on the branch line as a result of his actions.
* MythologyGag: When Montague shows the engines Mavis' remains at the climax he refers to her as being left to remain in the place she died [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/ThomasTheTankEngineS1E3TheSadStoryOfHenry "for always and always and always."]]
* NeverSpeakIllOfTheDead: When Toby arrives back on Sodor following [[spoiler: Gordon's HeroicSacrifice]], Percy says that he highly doubts Gordon would have just let Toby go. Toby cuts him off with a stern rebuke.
-->'''Toby:''' I didn't [escape}. Gordon let me go.\\
'''Percy:''' What, ''Gordon''? Our Gordon? I highly doubt that--\\
'''Toby:''' He's better than you think!
* NiceJobBreakingItHero:
** Henrietta's plan to try and get information about "the Superior" on the Other Railway results in her getting captured and being held hostage to bring Toby to the diesels.
** In the flashback sequence, it is revealed that [[spoiler: Toby's own actions were responsible for the crash that resulted in him becoming a hybrid and Montague becoming a tank engine, thus sparking his motivation for taking his engine back]].
* NotSoDifferentRemark: When Toby tells the others about [[spoiler: Gordon's HeroicSacrifice]], he says that the two weren't that different after all.
* OhCrap: Many characters have this reaction, including:
** Thomas, after Gordon tells him he jammed the points to switch Toby onto the branch line and make him late with the express.
** Gordon, after hearing what switching Toby onto the branch line may have caused.
** Gordon again as all the engines whistle and jeer at him in the aftermath of his trick.
** Mavis, just before [[spoiler: Toby forces her through the escavating shed, killing her]].
** Gordon again, when [[spoiler: he and Toby encounter a blocked yard while trying to escape from the diesels]].
** Atherton, after [[spoiler: pushing Gordon and Ludwig to their deaths in the shed]].
** Montague has this reaction frequently during the climax.
* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: Possible example in Toby and Montague's backstory since it is revealed that [[spoiler: Montague was simply trying to get hard work done (like he did usually, even helping other diesels) and Toby was breaking railway safety regulations]], yet Toby is the one who benefits from it by [[spoiler: being made into a hybrid engine]] and receiving endless praise and admiration.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Toby gives one to [[spoiler:Montague]] after the latter demands he come with him and [[spoiler:returns his engine.]]
-->'''Toby:''' I won't take orders from a coward! You sit there feeling all high and mighty, but you hide behind your diesels and expect them to do all your dirty work for you! The truth of the matter is, you're weak! Weak willed, weak everything! You can't do anything on your own! You don't deserve to order anybody around! The truth is, that if you were to face me yourself, one-on-one, you would lose!
* RejectedApology: Gordon attempts to apologise to the other engines and the Fat Controller for causing Toby’s accident, but no one accepts his attempted apologies, and he is banished to the Other Railway.
* SequelHook: TheStinger shows [[spoiler:Oliver]] escaped the final battle and now appears to be after Toby himself.
* SingleTear: Toby sheds this while asking for the other engines to help him fight off [[spoiler: Montague's diesels, for Gordon's memory if not himself]].
* SpiritualSuccessor: Many fans say this is a successor to ''WebAnimation/SodorDarkTimes'', and some even say this is better than the former.
* TakeAThirdOption: Toby tells Montague that he can let him go if he can leave Sodor, take the diesels back to the Other Railway and leave his friends alone. [[spoiler: Montague doesn't take it and makes one final attempt to attack Toby, forcing him into [[DontMakeMeDestroyYou pushing him off the edge of the cliff]]]].
* TookALevelInCynic: Played with for Toby. This serves as the backbone of his character arc:
** In the very beginning, Toby felt secure about his place on East Anglia. Then, when the line was shut down, he lost faith that people would ever see him for who he was instead of what he was ever again. This, in turn, caused him to be distrustful and distant with the engines of Sodor, despite their more-than-friendly attitude to his arrival.
--->"Isn't he quaint!"
** As Toby adjusts to his life on Sodor, we see him slowly start to warm to the other Sudrian engines. Then Gordon does his devious deed, and his faith is swiftly broken. It's not so much the fact that a Sudrian betrayed Toby so much as he saw what the other engines did to an engine who stepped out of line: banished him to the mainland, where, given the timeframe of the video, he wouldn't last long with Dieselisation looming. Understandably, his trust in the Sudrian engines takes a serious blow.
--->'''Toby:''' We trusted the people back on East Anglia, and they left us for dead without even batting an eye.\\
'''Henrietta:''' What about the Fat Controller? Or Thomas?\\
'''Toby:''' Yes, they were nice, they were kind. And I tried to trust them, Henrietta. But look at what Gordon went and did!\\
'''Henrietta:''' He's just one engine!\\
'''Toby:''' You weren't there. You didn't see the way the others all pounced on him when he dared to show his face to them.
** Each time one of Montague's followers comes after Toby, if further increases his cynicism and distrust. His greatest desire can be described by this line he cries when he's hiding in the quarry with Henrietta:
--->'''Toby:''' For once -- just once -- I want somebody to know me; appreciate me for ''who'' I am!
** Gordon's eventual sacrifice at the end of the film is what finally convinces Toby to fully trust the Sudrians, as he comes to see that even the worst of the Sudrians has come to accept him as one of their own.
* TrailersAlwaysLie: One shot from the teaser shows Toby and Henrietta being chased by what appears to be [[spoiler: Montague's entire diesel army]]. While he does get into a few chase scenes with Atherton, Ludwig, and Montague, this chase never happens in the movie.
* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: Most of the promotional material for the film seems to try and hide the identity of the main villain, but the initial teaser shows off [[spoiler: Montague]] for all to see.
* TraumaInducedAmnesia: [[spoiler: Toby had a life before coming to Arlesdale and meeting Henrietta. That life ended with his freak collision with Montague.]]
* UndyingLoyalty: Montague has this of the diesels he commands, particularly Atherton and Ludwig. [[spoiler: While he gained these followers when he was a diesel, they remained loyal to him even after his rebuild.]]
* VillainousBreakdown: Montague has one of these when [[spoiler: Toby has him up against the edge of the cliff after [[CurbStompBattle defeating Atherton]]]].
* VocalDissonance: Mavis has a very deep masculine voice.
* WasOnceAMan: [[spoiler:Montague used to be a diesel prior to the collision between him and Toby. While Toby was repaired with his diesel parts, Montague's mind was placed in a GWR tank engine.]]
