Is offered the honorary position of "Director of Fun" 

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.

In fact, the museum's bosses were so touched that they decided to offer Sam an honorary position as their Director of Fun.

He is now responsible for coming up with ideas to make the York museum more exciting for children.

And he has already suggested one to outgoing director Andrew Scott - a model train play area for children.

That sounds like an awesome title.  I wonder if I could print up some business cards with that on it.

This kid will go far--if his ambition isn't crushed by people constantly telling him what he "can't" do.

Socialism may not suck the life out of him but I'll bet it will dampen his sprirt a lot.

That's pretty cool.

While the kid's application might not be in the approved format, it is worthy of a personal response.

It'll probably be the kid's first rejection slip  (   ), but it looks like he's ambitious so it won't keep him down for long.
