Quote A train-mad youngster has landed his dream job as "director of fun" at the National Railway Museum in York. Six-year-old Sam Pointon from Leicester wrote to the museum and applied to replace retiring director Andrew Scott. In his application Sam wrote: "I have an electric train track. I am good on my train track. I can control two trains at once." Bosses were so taken with his enthusiasm they offered him a role as director of fun.
