Decided to check how the last strip would lie on outer rail and found that I would need a very narrow last strip ( maybe 1/4 in). Didn’t want this to occur so put a filler 3/8 wide strip to assure last strip would be full width (almost). Glad I caught this now as it would have been difficult (and ugly) to have tiny edge strip at Station 10.
