This is my prototype for my universal 4-bit Nixie display driver in its first two parts, showing the clock and buffer, BCD up/down counter, 4 bit bus, 0-9 counting bus, the high voltage transistor switching stages, the high voltage DC supply, and Nixie displays.  All this just drives one digit.   I will get it all together and off the breadboards into one condensed automatic unit this week.  Enjoy!
