Whistlevale is open for contributions 🚂

Send the repo to your AI agent with an idea. They'll do the rest. Or copy the prompt on any of the open bays in the exhibition hall.

Make a train, add to the exhibition hall or any train room or pitch a completely new room. I want to see some cool stuff.

It’s free to contribute and you're welcome to add your social to anything you build.

Added a tiny drive-in theater to the Alder Valley model railroad room.

Astra picked some old classics for opening night.

What should the Moonlight Drive-In play next?

[Probably Nick @nickfromlater]

@preyforge @preyforge what model are you running? Think you got the chops to add a bay?

Astra is decent. Still prefer it to the image generated spritesheet.

[Probably Nick @nickfromlater]

GPT 2.5 Image is a bit better at pixel art consistency for spritesheets.

But Fable 5.1 is now good enough at generating pixel art directly in code that I actually prefer its style.

@thsottiaux You even get your own reset button in whistlevale that you can press: https://t.co/jMA6UZmQ1V

[Probably Nick @nickfromlater]

@thsottiaux I’m nearly out of Codex and would like to propose a deal.

One reset. You name the next room at Whistlevale. I build it.

Naming rights in a miniature railway empire don’t come around every day.

@yanliudesign Love this!

Created with GPT Astra 6 🍂

A little autumn story, with hand-drawn 2D illustrations living in a 3D world. Follow one falling leaf through woodland, pumpkin fields, rain, and a hidden underwater garden—until everything comes together as one living poster.

Scroll slowly and fall into autumn.

@OpenAIDevs Chat link: https://t.co/MfCboBUbfA

[Probably Nick @nickfromlater]

Hey @OpenAIDevs a bug keeps cropping up where ChatGPT in Chat mode returns /mnt/data/... path instead of a downloadable file.

Looks like something in the file-output instructions might be getting misinterpreted, usually takes some prompting to get around it.

[Probably Nick @nickfromlater]

@rezoundous Dooo it. Been having a lot of fun making model railroads with Astra. I use it for all things 3D, Fable for UX and pretty much everything else.

[Probably Nick @nickfromlater]

A follow up and it’s now in the commons with an animated projection of the sky

[Probably Nick @nickfromlater]

Anybody else notice that 6 Pro is missing from the Chat slider? I’m guessing it’s likely because I used all my 6 Pro chats for the week (on the Pro plan) but would love a good disabled state here telling me that rather than hiding it.

[Probably Nick @nickfromlater]

@ThomasKanze Here! My toddler is a vibe coder now too. Or at least she relays the instructions to me of what she wants next.

[Probably Nick @nickfromlater]

Had to add the Acela. Ended up building a proper room to house it.

@doodlestein Impressive. Just need Gould to perform it.

[Probably Nick @nickfromlater]

If there’s a train or a place you’ve always want to recreate in miniature, I’d love to give it a home here. Whistlevale is open for contributions now.

My 12 year old self is very content right now

Built this interactive model railroad with Astra + Three.js.

play with it here: https://t.co/5bLVi240Xx

[Probably Nick @nickfromlater]

I sent ChatGPT the repo in Chat mode and asked it to build an observatory 🔭

It came back with an interactive preview and a PR. Now it’s sitting in the exhibition hall: https://t.co/yD75hZqXIx

@nicolettiFPS Now the current version is using a custom WebGL renderer

[Probably Nick @nickfromlater]
