If memory serves, I think that sweden has a different track width
compared with the rest of europe. This makes international travel with
train from sweden to europe a bit more painful, since you need to
change
in denmark. But this could be something I've dreamed. I'd say I'm 60%
sure.

Certainly, the three times I've travelled to Stockholm, I've had to
change trains in Copenhagen, but no great difficulty.

Alas, the last time, going the Helsinki Worldcon, the train from Hamburg
to Copenhagen was delayed and I spent a couple of hours on Malmo station.
Then, coming back I again missed a connection at Copenhagen and the next
train didn't leave until about 23:00.  I got into Hamburg about five in
the morning, it was just getting light but my hotel had kept my
reservation open, so I got some sleep before my train to Cologne.

Another nice stockholm/helsinki option is to take the ferry. Very cheap, and good price on food and alcohol too due to some weird legal EU exception.
