It seems to me that most all older engines used the 7226 (Seuthe 10) and rarely the 72270. Lately it seems that much more of the newer engine are using the skinner one. I'm thinking that maybe Marklin is more concerned with getting the scale dimensions correct which leads to a smaller diameter smokestack requiring the skinner unit. Is this correct or am I mistaken?

I think with many locomotives the 72270 was the only choice.
