Did he say that the coaches are 1:93,5 scale?

Yes, they aren't full scale length. Up until the 1990s models of most continental European passenger cars were 264mm in length, then increased to 282mm (1:100) and 28.6mm (1:93.5 scale) which is to deal with tight curves of radius one or for trains with these coaches to be able to pass each other on a radius 1&2 layout. Full scale length coaches range from between 303mm to 316mm (usually the restaurant car is the longest). Roco still produces coaches of 264mm in length. Saw a small layout comprising of Marklin short coaches [264mm] and they were the ideal length for the tight space available. For most people, the most important item of stock on the layout is the locomotive - that's where there can be no compromise

*I'm referring to prototypes which are 26 metres in length or greater.
