Gear Indicator 7-Segment LED Display

Hi all, my flemish is rubbish and i know many of you speak better enlish than the english do so i hope you do not mind an english post Well, like many of you, we all like to play with our Two's and during the winter i've been playing around with a nice little project which may interest some of you. More of a technical challenge rather than something really of any use but still its turned out to be quiet nice. Basically i've replaced the small battery indicator dial with a custom made unit with a 20mm 7-Segment display held behind 5mm green acryl plastic with a matt black foil cover with a rectangle hole cutout for the display. The sensor unit mounts and senses the position of the x2 gear shifter rods, those who have looked in there know that they move in a sequence so i've played around and decoded the positions to display the correct gear, this way its much more accurate at determining the position rather than the common method of microswitches clicking on when the gear shifter moves to which ever position.
Also, i've tapped into the -IG tacho signal with a special circuit which makes the gear number flash when ever you reach the desired set rev limit, this is like a gear change indicator too which also beeps when you hit this preset level USeful i suppose if you do some track stuff.
Nice little gadget i suppose but thought i'd share it with you. Cheers.
