Thomas and The Engine of The Mountains

Thomas and The Engine of The Mountains (abbreviated as TATEOTM) is an upcoming epic fantasy adventure film. Originally conceived and worked on by Tines Sensahthe, the film is another T&F fan movie that follows a style similar to Tobias and The Half-Pariah and its sequel, Tobias and The Arcane Merchant. Set in the early-mid 1960s, the story follows Thomas as he struggles to cope with the loss of his brother, Jinty, hatefully blames Percy for Jinty's death, seeks solace in Sodor's newcomer, Alcot, who seems innocent but secretly does not have such benign intentions, and even seeks out a legendary engine to help him solve his problems.

The original film was cancelled by Sensahthe himself in 2016 after several years in production. However, it is currently in the attempted process of being resurrected by members of TTTE community who still wish to see the movie come to fruition.

Plot
In 1963, Thomas is mourning and grieving the loss of his last brother, Jinty, who was killed in a terrible accident involving him and Percy the year before. Over the time that followed, Thomas has grown a deep hatred for Percy, believing that he had killed Jinty on purpose, and is not willing to forgive him, even with the persuasion of his other closest friends, especially Edward. One day, a new engine named Alcot arrives on Sodor. Thomas and Alcot eventually meet each other and become friends very easily, as Alcot appears to be a kind and sympathetic engine.

Original Tines Sensahthe incarnation
Production of the film originally began with Tines Sensahthe himself in 2012. He wrote the script and filmed several scenes, some of which were seen in at least one of the film's trailers that were on YouTube for a time. Production continued until later in 2014 (after Half-Pariah). In 2016, after leaving the film in development hell for a year or two, Adam announced that the project was scrapped, after losing interest and not believing the film would be good. He eventually released the full script, which was finished in 2012, for the fans to read.

Revival
In 2023, TATEOTM saw a resurgence, beginning on June 9, when fellow Thomas fan and community member Tim O'Hayre (Al Timotheus) announced his plans to resurrect the film.

Trivia

 * Although the two characters may not be related in a sense, Alcot has a similar design to Gordon.
 * In terms of The Railway Series:
 * The controller during the 60s would have been Sir Charles Topham Hatt II (1914-1997), because ran the railway from 1954 to 1984, and the controller in 1943 would have been Charles' father, Sir Topham Hatt I (1880-1956), who served from 1894 to 1954.
 * Jinty died the same year of Stepney's first visit to Sodor, the short-lived trial of Class 40, and the building of the Class 08s.
 * Bridgett Amanda Hatt was born in 1943, the year of Alcot's incident.
 * The events of the film also take place during the 40th anniversary of the main 1920s events of the NWR, such as Henry being bricked up in the tunnel in 1922 and Gordon getting stuck on the hill in 1923.
