Another book worth finding is "Cold Cathode Tube Circuit Design" by DM
Neale which contains design procedures and worked examples. It contains
about 100 pages on trigger tubes as well as chapters on stabilisers,
reference tubes, stepping tubes (ie dekatrons) and display tubes (ie
nixies):
It's here (for a while) : http://www.sgitheach.org.uk/dmneale.pdf
Or Abe Books for <gasp> £91 </gasp>

Thanks for the reply. I'm familiar with Grahame's excellent work and
some of the Dance circuits. I just wasn't sure if I am missing
anything when considering the MXT-90s for this type of project. They
have a cathode/anode and a control electrode so I thought they would
work in a counting circuit, but I wasn't sure if I was missing
something more subtle that would make them problematic as a choice.

Grahame Marsh made a whole nixie clock using them. Here's his page

With some "tweeking" (adjusting some part values) it should be
doable with any trigger tube. Grahame's page also references the
J.B. Dance book, where all kinds of counting techniques are covered.

I may be demonstrating my glaring lack of electronics
knowledge with this question, but I figure I will learn
something from it either way...
Is it possible to use MTX-90 thyratrons as trigger tubes in a
ring counter circuit to build a time keeping device with them?
My inspiration in asking this question is from other
member's designs that have been done with XC18 triggers or
neon bulbs that use mains for timing pulses across multiple
ring counting circuits.
