Oh, it also looks as if the AC adapter that comes with the train set is
compatible with the RCX, although I haven't tried this yet.  (They are • both
marked "9 - 12 V ~", and the adapter claims to put out 12 VAC.)

Oh yes, it *IS* compatible. As Chris Osborn wrote this is probably the
easier solution. Another reason to get the good old RCX 1.0 with the adapter
plug.
