Definitely off the rails.

She has since been ordered detained on suspicion of public devastation (allmänfarlig ödeläggelse).
Why can't we have cool-sounding offeces like that? Criminal damage sounds boring by comparison. :hehe:

They build houses on train tracks in Sweden?

Luckily, it's probably an IKEA house, which means it was only cardboard anyway. They'll just order a new one and assemble it themselves with an Allen wrench.

Allen key, hex key, and Allen wrench are all proper. Spanner is a synonym for wrench.

The station at Saltsjöbaden is a terminus, and that house is immediately beyond the end of the tracks.

Nope.
A spanner is called a spanner cos it spans the flats of a nut. A wrench does something similar, it grips something by grasping it.
Key is correct.
I think.

Allen key is the term used here, at least.
