I hoping that someone might be able to tell me what HO scale size a wooden matchstick might be?  In addition to modeling scrap wood for lumber cars, I'm wondering about stakes for gondola loads and the like-they are too large for the pockets on Central Valley and other models, but maybe if they are split in half?  (I'm not certain I'm getting a good reading from my HO scale ruler, and/or my eyes may not be picking it up correctly.)  

Thank you,
