Found this in my inbox a few days ago. Looks like the, at least according to the wording, that the Star Trek products have run out of Dilithium. Products won't be available after March 31st. I hope not but this indicates otherwise. I was hoping for a Borg Boxcar, the Cloaking Device Transport Car, among others.
@Conrail6358 or @Dave Olson can confirm. Have we come to the end of the 5 year mission?
If nothing else I have this so all is not lost.

My Avatar is not random. LOL!
It seems perhaps that much like TOS, it was only a three-year mission.

DISLIKE! Bummer.

I am a huge Star Trek fan myself. I have enjoyed every iteration of the franchise with the exception of DS9 and most of the Next Generation movies. I am one of the odd ones who is interested in the remastered original motion picture. Currently I have my 12 year old daughter hooked on "Lower Decks", and we think it is hysterical. It is especially funny for me as I get the references.
While I may not be interested in Star Trek themed trains, it would be fun to have a scale Enterprise hanging from the ceiling of my train room. 
Knowing nothing in regards to this, I would take the phrase "items will not be available after March 31st" to mean that their licensing agreement is expiring.
I don't find the cars offered are very interesting to me ... I started making my own.
I really like the FT locomotive however.

That is not logical...
Well if that’s the case that kinda sucks. I’ve been on the edge of their starter set but I did order and recently received the TMCC Shuttle speeder. It’s a pretty cool little dude. But I’ll be impressed when someone can explain why a speeder needs a traction tire. (Maybe for a stable warp field, although it hasn’t taken off like that 20lb veranda did yet 😜)
NCC 1701D sited over the layout ...
This model is also a Bluetooth speaker.
Interesting & Facinating !!!
You are all very . . . Engaged !!!
At least I can easily make the cloaked Klingon ship load.

Lionel made a Cloaking Device Transport Car 
. I reviewed it here. Skip ahead to the 3 minute mark to see it run.
I remember when these came out. There was a great thread that included someone's cloaked car mid train.

Look one post above yours. LOL!
Here's the review I did of the st when I got it.
That time I was, or will be to you, helping Scotty in the engine room and we'll be forced out of warp. Those will be the days.
A Warp Core transport car, Shuttle Craft Hanger Caboose. There are so many other whimsical cars to be made. I wonder if they reached beyond the train market and tried to push these on the Star Trek fans as well?
LMAO!!!!!

What in the name of the Great Bird of the Galaxy? No, just no. LOL!
Marty, you might also be able to get some custom work done by these guys

Round2 Entertainment/AMT distributes a 1/350th scale model kit of the TOS Enterprise.

I'm selling all my trains and getting into Z scale!
How big is the "real" Enterprise at 1:350?
Roughly 3 feet long, as I understand it.
Can be fitted with all manner of detail sets, photo-etched interior pieces, and lights and (I believe) sounds.
A full-on build will set you back as much as some Visionline locos and will keep you busy just about as long as you want it to.

Polar Lights has some outstanding kits.
Could go above a layout.
