I have a couple of potential ideas.
I'm assuming that it is ok to "modify" the table top, but you'd prefer not
to mess up the LEGO sets.
If you have a large flat piece (like a base plate with a building, trees, or
horses), then you can put screws in around the 4 corners of the plates. You
can use some model railroad moss to cover up the screws. Then, if you want
to move the stuff, you just undo the screws and move your pieces elsewhere.
If you want to anchor a single tree, then things become trickier. I'm
assuming you are talking about a tree with a 2x2 stud, rounded base. You
could attach two round 1x1 pieces on top of each other in the center,
circular receptical at the bottom of the tree. Then, drill a whole in the
table just big enough for the 1x1 piece. Now, you can slide the tree into
the table. It shouldn't move, but you can always pull it up and move it
later. If you made the hole a little too big, you could always put cotton
or something in the hole to help it hold.
(I don't know if you plan for a train)
LEGO rail tracks have holes in the center of each piece. You can get black
tacks to fit these holes. The tack should keep the rail secure, but you can
always remove them later.
I hope this helps.

| Thanks, and who said about attaching a train? This is a countryside scence!! Just some Town and Paradisa Sets put on a tabletop and arranged to be abit spread apart. I think my comment on saying i'm using my Model Railroading Skills kinda threw you (...) (25 years ago, 10-Mar-00, to lugnet.town)
