My grandfather once built a phone line simulator you could connect up to 8 or 10 phones to and actually dial them by a one-digit number. I think he got the schematics from some old electronics magazine. Definitely one of the coolest „toys“ I ever got as a kid.

You could only make one call at a time off the island, via a VHF link on around 80MHz to the telephone exchange in Mallaig about 25 miles away.
