I do have a macro rail but I don't use it.
Maybe due to the fact that the subjects are not really in the macro range I had difficulties with aligning the photos so you get ghosting effects. I still have ghosting sometimes with manual focussing but I guess that is more due to subject motion with wind.

Thanks all for looking and comments!
Focus stacking is so much easier with programs in modern mirrorless cameras.
Because none of the Pentax DSLRs have this I just do it manually with a remote 
control for the shutter, hoping there is no change in camera position.

There are macro rails available which can adjust the focus (presumably moving 
the camera rather than the helicoid) by as little as one micron.
