    A 6-year-old boy, Sam Pointon, who wanted to become the director of York´s National Railway Museum got himself a job - as the director of fun.
    The ambitious child got a plum role at the National Railway Museum after applying to replace retiring boss Andrew Scott.
    Sam sent a handwritten letter headed "Application for director" asking for an interview at the centre, in York. The letter listed his credentials for the role, including his expertise on his train set.
    "I am only 6 but I think I can do this job. I have an electrick (sic) train track. I am good on my train track. I can control two trains at once" he wrote.
    The museum staff was so impressed that they appointed Sam an honorary "Director of Fun" and his job will be to show how he thinks they can ensure the museum is the most fun place for kids to spend a day out.
    Mr. Scott said that Sam´s letter was a real delight to read, so it was a pleasure to offer him the position.
