Here is a picture of our (NCLTC) gutters:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=50985
They are mounted with bolts that go through the gutter and then through the
table and then through a block of wood that fits into the table structure.
We use the PNLTC style tables so if you are familiar with how the legs
mount, the block of wood mounts essentially the same way. Chris Suich in
our group worked this out and it has worked out really well. We have found
that having gutters only on two sides has been sufficient and don't have any
plans to add more. In fact, to date, the kids layout (as shown in the
picture) has worked out well. We actually tack the track down to prevent it
from moving around as well.
