I am rather positive that a Delphi "Service Application" can do TTimer etc.
No it doesn't... At least not by simply creating an instance of TTimer
and hooking up the OnTimer event.
This applies to both Console and Service applications under Delphi. The
Delphi TTimer, in uses the WM_TIMER Windows message and a Console and
Service application don't have a message loop. So to get it to work, you
need to implement your own message loop.

Correct for console, not for service. Check svcmgr unit, it runs the message
loop.
