Jeffster, all the information you're looking for was in Ben's Star article.
2 weeks to travel to Quebec
12 weeks to repair
2 weeks to travel back
3 weeks of recomissioning
= 19 weeks
The TTC frames were primarily built in Bombardier's (acquired) plant in Sahagun, Mexico. After a number of problems in Thunder Bay fitting the frame elements together, they switched production to their plant at La Pocatiere, Quebec ("The Poke"). I think 501's frame (and the first two ML pilots) came from Sahagun, but our 502-514 were all fabbed in The Poke.
If something was wrong with 501, one would hope it would have been rectified when it was sent to Millhaven to match the others in the fleet.
On a positive note, 508 was loaded up today, and is about to head our way.
