The NoGUI widgetset does not support timers:

function TNoGUIWidgetSet.CreateTimer(Interval: integer; TimerFunc: TWSTimerProc
   ): THandle;
begin
   Result:=0;
end;

function TNoGUIWidgetSet.DestroyTimer(TimerHandle: THandle): boolean;
begin
   Result:=false;
end;

As I stated many times before: DO NOT use the nogui widgetset.
It is a basically flawed concept.

Create a normal console appliation instead and use the fpTimer unit if you
need a timer.

PS. 
Please change the lazarus mailing list address you use to <lazarus at lists.lazarus-ide.org>
It seems you're still using the old lazarus at lists.lazarus.freepascal.org
People doing a reply and don't pay attention will send the reply twice,
since the lazarus at lists.lazarus.freepascal.org is put in CC.
