Mine happens on the worst place...right at the steepest point of the
railway...ah well...

No, but I use 2 MRC Tech 2 packs for power, because I find them nicer to use
than the Lego ones.  I had them before I had the lego trains.  Don't use pulse
power with the Lego motors, it makes them very noisy.  I would suspect that a
PWM controller would be fine, since the RCX uses PWM for speed control.
