The Digitrax DS52 stationary decoder consists of a PCB with a connector. After programming, it seemed wise to put it inside a decent enclosure to reduce dust and accidental damage.

At Conrad I ordered a 53,5 x 45 x 23 mm StrapuBox item 522600. Pictured below are the modifications to get the decoder inside. Put a label on the front with the decoder ID (I use pattern DS52-###) plus the DCC adresses of both outputs and attach the case to the layout with 2 screws.

Now that is neat
