Hmmm...interesting Dr Chris
Since there are only 3 things shown in the set....I wonder if there isn't some type of rebound bumper on the rear of Kenji because we can't see back there. Maybe if Kenji runs out of steam and Thomas bumps him, it releases a spring or something and he boosts forward....
Or maybe...how about this....when Kenji is pulled back to wind his spring, he does not go forward when you let go. He will only blast forward when Thomas bumps him in the rear. This added gimmick would at least make the set worth more but probably not 6600yen though IMO.
As Dr Chris says, the set is called "Oikakekko" = Chasing One Another or Playing Tag Maybe Thomas chases Kenji and when he "Tags" him Kenji releases his spring and speeds forward. Which would support LaG's thoughts on a Pull Back engine being faster than a motorized engine. Maybe even fast enough to, after Thomas bumps "Tags" him Kenji would race around the supplied Loop and bump (Tag) Thomas and the Rocket engine.
