MOW set cobbled together, most recently for the production of "Shell on Wheels."
The crane car, and flat, are lightly modified Tyco's.

I got this set this week and know absolutely nothing as to why it's labeled this way.
The catalog number of 5103 is on the side with a track diagram. Unfortunately, it didn't come with any track. Some of the boxes inside are in English and French, the French ones saying imported by TYCO Canada Limited on them.
I bought the set with the intention of using the pieces parts to complete a Chattanooga Set I only had a box for. I kept all the packaging so if information comes to light, I can put it back the way it came to me.
Thoughts?

Looks interesting WillV....perhaps this was a Tyco product made specifically for French consumers? Hence the French on the boxes. Was there a locomotive included in the box?
Interestingly enough, the only photo that comes up under Google Images when I search "Tyco Skyward HO Train Set" is one listed and sold on Ebay (what I presume to be your set.) If that's the case...this is probably quite rare.
Conclusion: Excellent Find!

Yes, I realize the packaging in Canada is dual. However, not every box in the set was like that. Only the Maxwell House Billboard and track packages were dual
