6 year old boy offered honorary position as Director of Fun.
This is such a great story.


He loves Thomas the Tank Engine, travelling on the Eurostar and watching his train set go round and round.

So when a vacancy opened up as director of the National Railway Museum Sam Pointon was confident he could do the job - despite being only six years old.
His letter, in which he outlined how he could control two trains at once, arrived with hundreds of other applications but stood out a mile.
