Basically American 0 gauge scale is slightly different to British. You have already worked that out. It is confusing and takes a bit of working out.
Basically you need figures made to the American Scale. A good selection will be found on the sites I found for you. It may be worth talking to the guy at EDM. He is a nice guy and very enthusiastic. Look at the web site to see where the shows he is attending are, or phone him up.
The piece of equipment you describe is a rolling road. I have the Hornby one which is quite adequate, but other people on the Forum may have other ideas.
Do remember that 0n30 runs on 00 gauge track so you could get an oval of Hornby track and a point or two. I would get 3rd or 4th Radius curves.Then you will be able to try out your locos. By the way are you using DC or DCC for control. Are the two locos you have bought DCC fitted?
