>How many engines are MU'd in switching locomotive consists, gensets or otherwise, is usually a function of tonnages to be handled and the gradients to be encountered. In switching operations that can vary day to day, so I do know of cases where such consists had more units than might be required.

The ultimate number of locomotives which can be MUed together is related to the current carrying capacity of the control circuits to withstand stand the cumulative load of the control systems in the consist.
